Congratulations to our client, The Pacific Companies, on gaining the first approval needed to develop a 115 unit workforce housing development in North Palm Springs.

The commission unanimously approved the project’s development permit, with a few small requests such as adding benches and potentially tweaking one of the buildings.

It was so exciting to attend today’s ribbon cutting of the historic Plaza Theatre after a $34 million renovation. Congratulations to JR Roberts, Kevin Corcoran, and the entire Foundation Board and City of Palm Springs for bringing this jewel in our downtown back to glory.

Water began to flow today as the State started filling the expansion pond of its first major restoration project at the southern end of the Salton Sea! This marked a key milestone in providing critical environmental habitat for birds along the Pacific Flyway while also a suppressing dust and improving air quality for local communities. The BRC team has worked for several years supporting the State’s Salton Sea Management Program in raising awareness and engaging the community on the planning and implementation of these projects so today was hugely rewarding!
