Whether it's a downtown civic campus stretching six city blocks or a small municipal building, Jamie brings the same standard to every project he takes on. Here is a closer look at a few of the projects he has helped shape.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Long Beach
Civic Center
22 Acres | 6 City Blocks | Civic / Municipal | Long Beach, CA
Long Beach needed to replace its seismically unsafe City Hall, its aging public library, and its deteriorating civic facilities.
There was no public funding available — no bond issue, no tax measure, no voter approval on the horizon. Jamie Martin and the Edgemoor team discovered that the city was already spending $12.8 million a year maintaining the buildings it needed to replace. They believed that same annual commitment could be leveraged into an entirely new civic campus without costing the city a dollar more.
By unlocking hidden sources of value others had missed, including an unrecorded easement that had encumbered a key piece of city-owned land for years, they made a $513 million civic campus possible within the city's existing budget and without a single dollar of new public funding.
