The following are tweet-casts of the Atypical Building Types session at CNU22 in Buffalo last week. I’ve edited the tweets lightly whenever I remembered something else the speaker said.

Mayfair Lane is Buffalo’s most valuable building type per acre.
Nothing else comes close.
Read more about it in this post on Three Dog Night.
• Simple, flexible, & replicable: those are our new flex-building ideals.
• We want to be able to aggregate buildings in small increments because that’s what makes financing work in today’s market.
• The keys to making incremental buildings work are paying attention to fronts, backs, & shared courtyards.
• The most adaptable buildings are a designed on a single chassis that allows many buildouts over time.

This tiny cottage is probably Buffalo’s
second most valuable real estate per acre,
showing once again that small ≠ shack.
Even so, getting small types built
is tough in some markets.
• I’ll talk about Baldwin Park and several types we use that have good vertical mix.
• We’re all about getting stuff implemented, not just being theoretical.
• Building type choice is one of the most important, if not the single most important, decision we ever make in place-making.
• New types need to be “better than market” to really show the success of the type, otherwise nobody will take a chance on building them if they’re not more compelling.
