Progressive Design-Build done right: FORMA + Mithun

FORMA + Mithun’s PDB team is a creative, collaborative dynamo — working hand in hand with the City of Shoreline to design and execute big changes at eight public parks and deliver on a bond promise to taxpayers.

FORMA + Mithun’s ongoing partnership in Shoreline has been a showcase for the benefits and successes of Design-Build delivery — a process that relies on consistent messaging, big brainstorming, aligned priorities, and collaborative decision making — always with an emphasis on adaptability, trust, and iterative progress.

Whether you’re a public agency making the move to the Progressive Design-Build model or a colleague in the industry eager to learn more it, we invite you to take a look at this recent write up in the DJC and this recent piece in Landscape Northwest that features our PDB team’s bundled Parks Improvement collaboration, along with the lessons learned, big successes, and opportunities we’ve identified as veterans of this integrated contracting approach.

To stay abreast of upcoming milestones and grand openings at each of these eight rejuvenated Shoreline parks, head over to the City’s website.
