    Description
    Director of Urban Design & Retail Planning- Streetsense - Place Consulting Team
    Streetsense is seeking a visionary architect / planner to be the Director of Urban Design & Retail Planning to join our growing Place Consulting practice. This role is designed for a senior professional who can set the vision and framework for transformative mixed-use projects - someone who understands how buildings, public realm, and retail work together to shape thriving mixed-use environments.
    The Role
    You will lead complex, high-impact planning and design efforts for new mixed-use and adaptive reuse projects. Your focus: how to organize buildings, streets, and open spaces so that retail, residential, office, hospitality, and public life reinforce one another. The right candidate is fluent in both design fundamentals and real estate strategies, with a track record of working with developers and commercial real estate clients.
    Key areas of responsibility include:
    • Shaping the vision, planning, and design frameworks for people-centered mixed-use projects.
    • Applying deep expertise in retail integration: sidewalks, storefronts, block and street structure, road sections, parking layouts, and the critical relationships between uses.
    • Translating strategy into physical design guidance that ensures projects are not just well-planned, but viable and vibrant in the market.
    • Leading multi-disciplinary project teams and serving as the strategic voice with clients, architects, and development partners.
    • Mentoring junior staff, elevating the quality of design and planning deliverables.
    Requirements
    The Ideal Candidate
    • Background: Architect, urban designer, or planner with 10+ years in private sector real estate, particularly mixed-use development, urban infill, and large-scale master planning and urban design.
    • Expertise: Strong grasp of building placement, block and street design, pedestrian experience, and retail-driven public realm.
    • Strategic Lens: Understands not only how to design for the end user, but also how design drives tenant mix, leasing success, and long-term value.
    • Communication: Able to clearly articulate vision to C-suite developers, architects, operators, and civic stakeholders.
    • Leadership: Experience running teams and guiding projects from vision through entitlement and design guidelines.
