This May, we’re proud to celebrate five LS3P team members who earned their Living Future Accreditation (LFA)—a credential that reflects deep expertise in regenerative, equitable, and climate-positive design.

"I believe that good design and sustainability go hand in hand—sustainability is not an added feature, but a driver of long-term performance. When integrated early, these strategies improve operational efficiency, enhance the user experience, and strengthen overall project outcomes," says LS3P's Scott Greenman. "Leveraging what I learned doing the Living Future Accreditation (LFA), I apply proven tools and frameworks to align sustainable design decisions with lasting value for owners, occupants, and the broader community."

Congratulations to Victor Iwunwa, Scott Greenman, Erika Means, Macie Long, and Ernest M. Bostic II!

Great leaders don’t just shape their organizations—they help shape their communities.

We’re proud to celebrate Christina Smith, LS3P’s National Healthcare Market Leader, on her graduation from Leadership Greenville—an achievement that reflects her deep commitment to leading with purpose across our healthcare practice and beyond.

Through Leadership Greenville, Christina built meaningful connections, gained valuable insight into the opportunities and challenges shaping the region, and further strengthened her ability to lead with intention and impact. We’re excited to see how she continues to influence the future of healthcare design while contributing to the vitality and growth of the Southeast!

Curating the right workplace amenities has become critical to the success of commercial assets. It’s no longer about adding more features — it’s about creating the right mix of experiences that drive distinction, strengthen tenant attraction and retention, and create long-term value.

Today’s employees and tenants expect more than efficient workspace. They’re seeking experiences that support well-being, foster connection, and make coming into the office worthwhile. The strongest workplace assets are responding by creating destinations, not simply adding amenities.

The key isn’t adding more — it’s curating the right mix.
At LS3P, we help clients identify and curate the right amenity strategies through metrics, market insights, trends and a deep understanding of each project's unique goals and context. Effective solutions are never one-size fits all - they respond to tenant needs, workforce demographics and location-specific opportunities.
We're seeing a shift toward more flexible, experience-driven environments: shared conference hubs, activated outdoor spaces, meaningful retail, and wellness offerings. We're also seeing amenity components throughout tenant spaces to provide more of a community within the workplace.

Curating the right size and mix of amenities for each project creates distinction in the market and strengthens long-term performance. Purposeful amenities don't just enhance the workplace experience - they attract tenants, improve retention, and create a competitive advantage.

The question is not longer whether to invest in amenities, its about crafting the right amenity ecosystem.

LS3P is proud to be part of the conversation shaping the future of aviation. This week, our team is in Charleston for the GAD Americas Conference and CAPA Airline Leader Summit—two global forums where industry leaders come together to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore what’s next for air travel.

From evolving passenger expectations to the role of design in operational efficiency and community connection, these conversations matter. We’re excited to share our perspective, learn alongside our peers, and continue advancing thoughtful, forward-looking airport environments across the region. See you there!

Congratulations to Matt Bramstedt, on earning his Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Designation (CPD).

This achievement reflects a thoughtful approach to how the built environment can support safety and community well-being, focusing on using design strategies to reduce opportunities for crime while creating spaces where people feel comfortable, connected, and in control of their surroundings.

We’re proud to see Matt bring this expertise into our work and look forward to the impact it will have across our projects. Congratulations, Matt!

Not every project in a historic city meets resistance—sometimes, the moment is right for reinvention. At 110 + 111 Ann Street, two obsolete industrial sites along Savannah, GA's MLK corridor were reimagined as a mixed-use catalyst for growth, walkability, and renewed street life—just outside the historic district, where change was welcomed.

The architectural approach leaned into innovation early, with a hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam structural system shaping everything from code pathways and construction sequencing to the building’s character and experience. Early collaboration between architects, engineers, fabricators, and code officials turned a bold idea into reality, introducing mass timber to Savannah and helping set a precedent for the Southeast.

Today, the project reflects the corridor’s evolving needs—embraced by the community and quickly adapted for student housing—while 110 Ann Street’s LEED Silver certification underscores a commitment to sustainable performance alongside urban revitalization. Together, the Ann Street buildings mark a shift in how Southern cities can grow: thoughtfully, efficiently, and with material warmth that connects people to place.

Designed to honor Clemson’s Land Grant legacy, the project respects the natural landscape while promoting wellness through social connectivity and biophilic immersion.
