Masterplan – Urban Design

Job ID: 39559271

Budget: $750 – $1,000 USD

Hi,
We’re currently looking to collaborate with an urban architect for the development of a masterplan for a 28-hectare coastal site with strong tourism and residential potential.
Project Overview:
• Total Area: Approximately 280,000 m²
• Location: Bahía de Ocoa, Azua, Dominican Republic — beachfront land with direct access from the main road
• Land Use: Villas, apartment complexes, commercial area, tourist stop, recreational spaces, and green zones
• Topography: Combination of flat areas and sloped terrain
• Coastal Strip:
A 300-meter setback from the high tide line will be reserved exclusively for common and recreational use. This includes:
o Beach club
o Water sports facilities
o Walking trails
o Reforested areas
o Coastal public amenities
• Restrictions:
o A high-voltage corridor of approx. 10,000 m² must be designated for green areas or non-permanent uses only
• Estimated Lot Sizes:
o Villas: Between 550 and 650 m²
o Apartments: Between 3,500 and 6,000 m² per block or cluster
• Access Point: Main entrance planned with space for a commercial zone and a tourist stop
• Key Approach: Sustainability, efficient internal circulation, landscape integration, and tourism appeal
Project Phases:
1. Phase One – Zoning Masterplan:
Development of a zoned masterplan that clearly defines the areas for villas, apartments, commercial use, recreation, and green spaces.
At this stage, architectural design is not required — only the strategic layout of lots and land uses.
2. Phase Two – Architectural Development:
Design development for each previously defined zone (typologies, volumetrics, technical specifications, etc.)
Attachments:
• Site plans for the three adjoining properties
• Topographic contour lines (elevation data)
• A reference image illustrating the type of zoning masterplan we are aiming for
Let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like to explore the opportunity in more detail.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
