MASTER PLANNING
ELM’s master-planning services range from large-scale environmental analysis to site-specific
planning and design solutions for use patterns, access, circulation, development considerations,
views, building design, and site utilization. The basis for the firm’s master planning work is the

and seniors engaging in more diverse active recreational, social, cultural, and artistic pursuits,
and being more inclusive across multiple generations, together with children and grandchildren.

selling and most successful Active Adult communities in the nation, creating robust recreational
and social amenities that have become models in the industry.
