A NEW ENVIRONMENT.
ACi was formed to provide a team culture offering purpose-driven economic development for major property development owners. Formed from diverse global development and architectural experiences of Larry Adams, Jr. and John Cunningham, our mission is to help customers forecast the future using unique processes, which provide clear and value-driven principles to steer a strategic path to the opportunity ahead.
REALIZING YOUR VISION.
Strategic planning support provided by ACi strengthens and maximizes the financial investment of destination developments: integrated environments that deliver a total experience. A destination can be cities, urban districts, sporting venues, transit oriented developments, educational campus, technology corridors and healthcare centers. As destinations, planned communities of tomorrow take elements from all of the above, including downtown cities, urban centers, medical, science and technology villages. Businesses and Communities that operate destinations serve as hosts. Their customers are guests. The over arching measurement of customer satisfaction is the guest experience. In other words, a destination is a business venture in which the place is the product. The full development of a destination deals with more than planning and building it. It encompasses the full range of financial feasibility, product development, experience scripting, programming, design, engineering, operations and overall project delivery and start-up strategies. ACi understands this. Completely. We provide a clear process to help you follow the strategic path to your opportunity within the realities of your financial and time related constraints.
IDEA-BASED RESOURCES.
ACi distinguishes itself from traditional service firms in that we serve as true consultants. We tailor our resources based on our customer’s requirements and extend their organizations’ capability, rather than ask the customer to adapt to the outside expert. We rely on networks of resources consisting of seasoned professionals who know and have worked with the best in the world in a variety of disciplines. The best for your project means just that: knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes complementary to yours. In an ideas-based service, the ability to relate and communicate with the customer is as critical as the quality of the thinking behind those ideas. ACi resources go beyond planning and designing an environment, because they start with realistic approaches to help you quantify the opportunity: trade area analysis, master planning, design standards, accurate project construction costs, and craft building delivery plans based realistically on the opportunity itself rather than adapted from someone else’s model. We help you dig to uncover the hidden barriers to success. Working with you, together we learn the true topography of your opportunity. Together, we then build the strategies to realize your vision efficiently and profitably, leveraging advantages while reducing barriers.

The Residences of Winter ParkLangford Development, LLC | Winter Park, Florida
Cost: $15 Million | Year Completed: 2005
The property is the site of the Old Langford Hotel. ACi was selected as the
Design Architect/Architect-of-Record to create a new master development
entitlement plan and implement a design that featured a new Four/Five Star
Hotel, Spa and Residences. The Residences portion project that is built has
exclusive secure basement parking for its residents with private elevators
that take residents to their homes. The ground floor has 24-hours concierge
services, a game room and a community living room. Of the 23 residences,
there are four penthouse residences on the sixth floor with wrap-around
terraces and pergolas with garden trellises. The rooftop, in addition to a pool,
has 3,000 SF of terrace and gardens with a pergola structure, hot tub and
kitchen with bar. Special features include historically accurate stone, wrought
iron and wood detailing.
The Village at Lake LilyMaitland, Florida
Cost: $100 Million | Year Completed: 2010
Constructed in two phases, The Village at Lake Lily is a $100 million four-story mixed-use development. The nine-acre
project will feature 450 apartments and 40,000 square feet of retail, including shops and restaurants. Lake Lily is a
downtown Maitland focal point, and The Village at Lake Lily will create a gateway for entering the city. The project is
part of Maitland’s downtown redevelopment plan, and it will provide a more urban vibe to the area. The project was
completed in two phases, which opened in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

The PASEO at Winter Park Village CASTO Lifestyles | Winter Park, Florida
This 4-story, 204 unit Mediterranean style Multi-Family Housing project includes a 378 space parking
garage and a one acre private amenity garden courtyard for the residents. The project is located across the
street from the Winter Park Village Lifestyle Center and is within a quarter mile of the Winter Park SunRail
Station, making this a true Transit Oriented development and it completes the live in the “Live, Work, Shop”
aspect of Winter Park Village.

Herbst Residence - Lugano VistaWinter Park, Florida
The Owner asked for a modern design for his new home that would revolve around his extensive
art and sculpture collection. He wanted only a few walls while maintaining his privacy. The home
would sit on an urban 75’x145’ lot with existing homes on either side. The solution was to create a
two-story U-shaped plan with all the major views directed to the courtyard and the open portion of
the U-shape screened by tall bamboo plantings. To allow for natural light, while providing privacy,
ACi employed either glass block or white translucent glass. The overall massing and volume was
based on the Cubist period of art. The mass, composition and spatial dynamics are meant to be an
informal, playful and relaxed compilation of shapes and forms, expressive of each form’s function.
Central Park Residences Winter Park, Florida
At the request of the City of Winter Park, ACi was retained by the City to study how
a strategically located older existing post office and vehicle distribution facility,
located next to downtown’s Central Park, could be transformed into a new mix of
uses that would convert the site into a more current mixed-use environment.
A USPS-City led public-private partnership was formed through a competitive
process that led to the selection of a private developer. This culminated in an
authentic Arts and Crafts style mixed-use project containing a new post office,
dining, shopping, commercial and residential.
The Landmark Winter Park, Florida
This four-story, eleven resident environment presented the placemaking opportunity to address the rich urban fabric of Winter Park. An internal old world courtyard provides every residence with elegant and private internal views. Two sides of the building are bounded by a service road, a third with a common party wall, leaving only one with a northern view exposure along E. Morse Blvd. As much of the architectural character along Park Avenue and Morse Blvd is sub-par, the approach was to create a striking design that would in fact be a landmark. A simple Mid-Atlantic Charleston Georgian style was selected. The building has a rich Italian stone water table, many cast stone festoons and ironwork designed by ACi, with historically accurate elements of style and detailing throughout. Other features include rooftop gardens, below grade parking and handcrafted figurines.
STATION HOUSE
Station House at Lake Mary Lake Mary, Florida
This 4-story, 200-unit market-rate multi-family TOD (Transit Oriented
Development) project is located directly across the street from the Lake
Mary SunRail Station. This project was a true “P3” project. ACi worked closely
with the City of Lake Mary and the developer, and without the city financial
incentives the project would not have been feasible. ACi’s involvement
in this process was not only in creating a design on a geometrically
challenging site, but in strategically assisting the developer to receive the
financial incentives from the City of Lake Mary. Phase 1 of the project is
currently slated to open end of fourth quarter of 2014.
Other features include rooftop gardens, below grade parking and
handcrafted figurines.
Baldwin Park Residences Conceptual Study Winter Park, Florida
Working directly with Pritzker Development (the developer of Baldwin Park, Orlando), ACi
assisted in securing increased densities for their two strategic parcels of land located in Baldwin
Park along Lake Baldwin. The 8-story design for the Multi-Family Housing/Condominium/Town
Home project is one of Mediterranean expression based upon grand early twentieth Century
Florida resorts. The project was 1,650,000 gsf. with internal parking structures for 1,100 vehicles.
Kummer Kilbourne Historic Home Winter Park, Florida
A long time friend and client of ACi requested we assist him in taking this 1916 Winter Park home and restore
the home to its previous glory, converting the residence and garage to office use and placing it on the
Winter Park Historic Register. Over the period of fourteen months with great care we researched archival
photographs, developed drawings, found historic period hardware, lighting, bath fixtures, worked closely
with the Building Officials and Fire Marshall, selected the general contractor and oversaw the restoration.
Other features include rooftop gardens, below grade parking and handcrafted figurines.
Alhambra TowersThe Allen Morris Company | Coral Gables, Florida
Cost $35 Million | Year Completed: 2000
ACi served as the Design Architect and Architect-of-Record. A flatiron shaped site in the heart
of downtown Coral Gables, the Owner and City Board of Architects required a seamlessly
integrated design that complimented Coral Gables’ century old town. Class A+ highly usable
floor plates for high-quality office space above ground-floor retail and dining services are
integrated with an “architecturally screened” parking garage. The project was positioned to
supply a market demand from growing multi-national financial institutions, international
government services and corporate users. Its design conveys a unique business experience to
the affluent market clientele of Coral Gables, Miami, South America and Europe. The flatiron
design of the building responds to the rich heritage of George Merrick’s original 1925 Spanish
Mediterranean style vision for the City of Coral Gables, Florida. The building composition
and mass are organized in the classic tower idiom of “base, middle and top” with harmonic,
syncopating rhythms of proportion, color, materials and finishes.
PONCE TOWERS
Ponce de Leon Financial TowersAllen Morris Company| Coral Gables, Florida
Cost: $420 Million | Year Completed: On Hold
ACi served as the Design Architect and Architect-of-Record. The Owner required a high-quality design that met LEED Silver certification and responds to its
special sense of place at Ponce Circle in downtown Coral Gables. The placemaking office product creates an authentic historical architectural grandeur that
complements its nearby sister building, the award winning 121 Alhambra Towers in downtown Coral Gables. Additional design requirements include arrival-
departure concierge services, large floor plates with interconnecting floors, transit trolley connectivity to Miami’s commuter rail and the internationally famous
Miracle Mile shopping district. A new streetscape space complements the new building and the historic central park space located directly across the street from
the site and surrounding Old Spanish Village.
Portofino at Lake of Laguna Orlando, Florida
This 3-story, 375 unit garden style Multi-Family Housing project is unique in that it uses tunnel
forms for its structural system. ACi took great care to ensure the project did not look repetitious
in its overall building shape and used Mediterranean forms and elements of style to break down
each buildings massing.
