THE REDEVELOPMENT DIVISION of Rick Engineering Company capitalizes on more than 30 years of redevelopment experience in the Southwest. Redevelopment projects vary widely in type, scale, and impact. They can be public, private, or joint ventures. They typically involve a team of consultants. Rarely are they simple projects because issues encountered in redevelopment often occur unexpectedly and range widely. All these circumstances mean the comprehensive services available through the Redevelopment Division of Rick Engineering Company are invaluable.

The Redevelopment Division can provide civil engineering, land use planning, aerial reconnaissance, topographic mapping, water resource expertise, surveying, application processing, even before-and-after computer animation of the project for community group or elected official presentation. Most importantly, all these services are available in-house through the Redevelopment Division.

The Redevelopment Division is:

• Experienced in residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use redevelopment;

• Experienced in downtown, inner city, and suburban redevelopment;

• Capable of accessing the full range of skills and services available at Rick Engineering Company;

• Knowledgeable about redevelopment legislation, government processing requirements, and redevelopment agency missions, policies, and practices;

• Experienced in citizen participation activities and the presentation of information in a non-technical and understandable way.


Some projects of the Redevelopment Division include:

• Naval Training Center, San Diego - CA:
Working first for the City of San Diego and subsequently for a private sector master developer, Rick Engineering Company prepared a reuse plan for redevelopment of almost 400 acres of a surplused Naval training center in San Diego’s Point Loma neighborhood. The mixed use project of 350 homes, two hotels, a new office/R&D area, a community arts center and foundation, and 40 acres of waterfront park that opened in 2002.

• Dana Point Harbor Revitalization:
Dana Point Harbor holds a unique location as both a boating facility and an extension of the various businesses that line the nearby streets which are frequented by tourists. For several years, residents, boaters and local government officials have been working together to develop a master plan for the Dana Point Harbor. The culmination of that plan provided Rick Engineering Company an opportunity to participate in the master planning and feasibility studies of options. Rick Engineering Company provided preliminary engineering, water, sewer and drainage master planning, water quality analysis, alternatives analysis and cost estimates.

• Imperial Avenue Master Plan, San Diego - CA:
Rick Engineering Company’s Redevelopment Division is working on the master plan team for the revitilization of Imperial Avenue for the section spanning from I-805 Easterly to 69th, comprised of approximately four miles.
