KTGY Principal David Senden Invited to be Speaker at BIA/OC Event

IRVINE, CALIF. - Award-winning KTGY Group, Inc., Architecture + Planning, is pleased to announce that KTGY’s Principal David Senden has been invited to participate in the Orange County Chapter’s Building Industry Association (BIA) and Urban Infill and Multifamily Housing Committee Workshop Program: “So You Think You’ve Got Infill? Think Again!” held on Thursday, September 24, 2009, at the Embassy Suites Anaheim – North at 3100 East Frontera in Anaheim, Calif. Registration and breakfast start at 7:30 am, the program runs from 8:00 am - 11:30 am. There is an optional project tour of The Crossing, a new urban infill, transit-oriented, resort-style apartment community developed by SARES-REGIS Group and designed by KTGY, immediately following the program.

Senden will participate in the panel, “It’s Process, Not Project,” which will be moderated by John O’Brien of Brookfield Homes, and include CJ Amstrup of the City of Anaheim, Jim Ivory, Bill Montgomery and Mike Winter with SARES-REGIS Group, Jay Ruby of Urban Resource Corp., and Michael Schrock of Urban Arena as additional panel members. Panelists will discuss the development challenges they have faced and will feature an in-depth case study on “The Crossing” in Anaheim. Attendees will get to learn about the development process from pre-development due diligence through project/land planning and design, as well as sales and marketing. Attendees can take a tour of The Crossing, which is currently under construction and will feature 312 apartments and 39 live/work units at 3530 E. La Palma Avenue, a former industrial location, in Anaheim. The City of Anaheim will also offer its development vision for this area of the city at the workshop.

Always with design quality and integrity, Senden provides the “big picture” vision for projects varying from infill mixed-use developments through large scale planning efforts. His knowledge and experience of residential product as well as his ability to stay on the cutting edge of design makes Senden an invaluable member of any development team. He leads a team of designers and planners who work hand-in-hand with the local jurisdictions, developers, and community. A reputable history of work for many of California’s major builders and developers as well as a string of smaller scale intimate projects mark Senden’s diverse portfolio.

Please call Philly Pemberton at 949.224.0321 or register online at www.biaoc.com. Deadline to register to attend workshop is September 18.
