![]() A team of homebuilding professionals who joined forces in a special project to create new opportunities in a down market has been honored with the first-ever Gold Nugget Grand Award for Imagining the Future – Open Class Design Charrette, a new category that was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC). Spearheaded by John Martin of Martin & Associates, a leading community planning, design and marketing firm, the GEN M 2345 team created a comprehensive plan to transform a 23-acre site in Huntington Beach that was previously slated for single-family homes. Their new concept, Sea•Shore Village, is envisioned as a collection of multi-generational neighborhoods with affordable homes to fit changed lifestyles and life stages. That award was shared by the entire GEN M 2345 team, which included: Martin & Associates (John Martin, Brett Chebithes, Patty Carmichael and Linda Edwards); The Planning Center (Randy Jackson and Van Smith); A2 Collaborative-Architects (Diane Hussey, Rick Schmidt, Chris Roberts, Keith Moreland, Karl Dakteris and David Tardiff); Pelican Properties (Dick Hamm); Jackson DeMarco Tidus Peckenpaugh (Scott Jackson); Merit Property Management (Bob Cardoza and Ben Shaffer); Valley Crest Design Group (Jim Hogan and Ben Braun); Kovach Marketing (Dana Kovach and Gina Nixon); Rohl LLC (Ken Rohl); and Cornell student Sasha Truong. Martin and Associates is dedicated to assisting those who create, plan, design, develop, market and manage communities and neighborhoods by providing vision, strategic thinking and market positioning and by implementing action plans through research, analysis, consultation and partnering.
