Marina & Waterfront Master Planning

“THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THE PARTS”
IWC - Marina Master Planning

A well-developed master plan must not only address the primary landside and waterside requirements, but also seamlessly integrate with all other project elements to achieve an engaging, activated waterfront. Only by this approach will the true value and potential of any waterfront project be realized. At IWC, our master planning philosophy focuses on a collaborative environment with architects and other professionals to exchange creative ideas that evolve into a cleary-defined master plan instilling synergies between land and sea. We utilize our creative vision coupled with our technical and commercial knowledge to ensure the right approach from the start.
