Wolverine World Wide Riverfront Development: Design Concept #1

This time last year, as one of two finalists, <a href="http://www.visbeen.biz/">Visbeen Associates Inc</a> was asked to create three design concepts for <a href="http://www.wolverineworldwide.com/">Wolverine World Wide</a>'s riverfront property in downtown Rockford, MI. With their qualifications and expertise in large scale projects and sustainable design, we decided to join forces with <a href="http://www.gmb.com/">GMB Architecture+Engineering</a> for the task. <div><br /></div><div>The first concept our team created involved renovating Wolverine's existing building for use as a retail outlet and conference center. The concept also included a retirement village, independent and assisted living facilities, as well as a community pavilion and a riverfront bandstand for summer concerts.<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrgdjL_jIC_GRdTLiVY0nBK0T20m23O2hyow-PTSoRtEh8gAXn6UvErEWpUamI3A7TEIcKaew8GaQpo3LPrBe6EKBVTOx8H7NlXLNJj2IVFGaqEZfaNCHJsYrFHR6hGR02JUcaUTVETt7K/s1600/Concept+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571069063550046626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrgdjL_jIC_GRdTLiVY0nBK0T20m23O2hyow-PTSoRtEh8gAXn6UvErEWpUamI3A7TEIcKaew8GaQpo3LPrBe6EKBVTOx8H7NlXLNJj2IVFGaqEZfaNCHJsYrFHR6hGR02JUcaUTVETt7K/s320/Concept+1.jpg" style="display:block;
