MASTER PLANNING STUDIO

INTRODUCTION
 MASTER PLANNING
PL A N FOR THE BE S T

When embarking on a multifaceted development project, our Planning studio truly shines. Always with the goal of
economic longevity, we provide visioning and concept development, competitive positioning and feasibility, and
land useplanning, as well as landscape design. At a macro and micro level, we understand the power of design to
profoundly shape the human experience.

PL A NNING FOR WH AT’S NE X T

Strong Track Record. Having designed more hospitality projects than any other firm in the world, our strong track
record developed over six decades shows successful completion of mixed-use planning projects that are aesthetically
pleasing, environmentally responsible, financially successful and operationally efficient.

Knowledge of International Expectations and Standards. Having worked in over 160 countries and territories on
six continents, we offer a broad perspective of what is involved in creating a viable master plan.

Respect for the Host Country. In over 60 years of practice, we have learned to be nimble enough to go where the
action is, and humble enough to listen once we get there. While WATG offers an unparalleled level of experience,
that is not to say we know it all. Every region is different and offers the opportunity for a unique solution.

International Expertise in Environmental and Sustainable Design. A hallmark of our firm is its sensitivity to the
influences of local culture and the environment. The firm’s policy is to respect the unique environment and cultural
heritage of each host country, region or community, and to make a positive contribution to the lives and culture of
that area.

Collaborative Approach to Planning and Design. As a firm, we work in a very collaborative way, involving clients,
operators, consultants, government and planning officials and other interested parties to ensure that suggestions
and ideas are incorporated at the very earliest stage.

Proven Lead Consultant Abilities. We are frequently asked to provide the overall management and coordination
of all the consultants and their efforts throughout the master planning process. The Lead Consultant’s role is the
key link and driving force between the Client and the Consultant Team, to ensure clear, precise communication, to
establish achievable goals and objectives and to monitor the team’s progress.

Dual Expertise Working in Tandem for Rapid Advancement. We are designers and hospitality consultants as well
as planners—this dual expertise is especially beneficial if there is a substantial amount of work to be completed in
a relatively short time frame.
 STRATEGY
INSIGHTS INSPIRE CONFIDENCE 

Success begins with a great development strategy. We provide clients with solid, research-led development advice,
concept defnition, and fnancial feasibility insights to help simplify the complexities of real estate development.
From subtle changes in consumer demand to global macro trends, we equip our clients with the insights they need
to move confdently into the next phase of development and the resources to make it reality.

S TR ATEGY IS YOUR EDGE

While WATG is world-renowned for our design services, we are also committed to being a full-service hospitality real estate
advisor to our clients. We recognize that a project’s success is measured not only by how it looks, but by how it performs.
Development is a complex undertaking that extends well beyond site planning, design and entitlement. Mixed-use, hospitality
and leisure projects have multiple stakeholders that include developers, equity and capital partners, management companies
and hospitality brands.

Our strategy services are often the “glue” in the delivery of multifaceted projects, through visioning, concepting and competitive
positioning that are grounded in economic realities. A collaborative development strategy will unlock opportunities that meet
social, financial, demographic, land use and environmental goals. What distinguishes us from the other consulting firms is our
collaborative approach with our design team; we work in conjunction with the land planners and architects to identify solutions
and maximize the potential for our clients. This consulting expertise is unique within design firms, and allows us at a very early
stage to effectively position the asset, resulting in the optimum opportunity for economic success.

Successful ownership begins with appreciating that hospitality and entertainment development is fundamentally different
from most other forms of real estate. While most commercial real estate assets involve only the land and improvements built
on the land (collectively, the “real property”), a hotel or theme park, for example, typically involves both the real property and
an ongoing business enterprise (as opposed to a lease structure). Consequently, the owner must understand the operational
issues relating to the business enterprise, because they will impact the real estate value.

As active participants in such international organizations and programs as The Urban Land Institute, Cornell’s Center for
Hospitality Research, Hotel of Tomorrow initiative – and as proprietary sponsors of research on affluent travelers, WATG is
in a unique position to share insights that will help position your development for success in an increasingly crowded and
competitive marketplace. We’re not just looking at current guest preferences but also how they might change in the future.

WATG will actively participate and facilitate the strategic planning and visioning of the development, including:
• benchmarking the project with competitive and comparable developments
• market trend analysis through primary research
• programming, including amenities, massing and layout of the mixed-use development in collaboration with the
design team that is based on the supply and demand characteristics of the competitive market
• identify potential hotel companies that may be appropriate for the development, based on the geography, market
demand and brand recognition
• assessment of market demand to identify source markets, consumer preferences and to position the project relative
to local, regional, statewide and international trends
• develop a financial model that would yield a proforma and a return on investment analysis
• identify, recommend and facilitate introductions to prospective development partners, operating companies,
financial consultants, consumer research firms, public relations firms, project managers and / or legal counsel at the
appropriate time and integrate them into the process

WATG was commissioned by Hoi An South Development Limited to undertake a concept master plan study on the
812.4 ha site and detailed master plan study for phase 2 of the project located on the southeast coast of Hoi An,
Vietnam.

Ten distinct zones and a clear circulation system were established to provide guidance and variety in terms of land
use distribution, character, development densities, tourism attractions and public amenities.

Open space plays an important role in the master plan, acting as an integrating element and creating a fluid and
dynamic natural amenity for the communities that is easily accessible. Acting as buffer space, these open spaces
also incorporate functionality of site drainage.

Through a phasing strategy, various focus areas have been earmarked and further developed into detailed master
plans and design projects.

WATG was appointed by Cityland - Phu Quoc Island Ltd. to create a concept master plan and a long term
development vision for the Rach Tram resort development in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. The site is parcelled into tourism
and residential zones. The beach resort has two distinct attraction centers - the beach village upon arrival into the
development, and the marina village which introduces a new lifestyle destination to Phu Quoc Island, providing a
unique experience for the resorts’ residents and guests.

WATG’s master plan sought to utilize the environmental attractions of the area, while limiting impact to the site and
its natural conditions. WATG collaborated with sustainability consultants to ensure suitability principles were further
developed to meet specific goals related to power, water catchment, treatment, recycling and waste treatment.
The master plan also introduces an integrated network of leisure connections (paths, tracks, trails) for guests and
residents to access the available attractions and amenities in a smooth and scenic way.

Bach Ma National Park is a protected area in central Vietnam, near the city of Hue. The site has a favorable
location between 2 major cities - Hue and Da Nang; near the new Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone; close to 3
UNESCO Historical Heritage Sites - Hue, Hoi An and My Son.

WATG’s master plan builds on eco-tourism, involving a broad spectrum of environmentally responsible activities
that visitors will appreciate, while simultaneously developing their understanding of the natural and cultural
heritage. The area will be carefully managed with regards to ecological, economic, and social sustainability.

The push towards environmental responsibility poses a great opportunity to build on sustainable tourism in the
area. A simultaneous initiative to re-develop existing accommodation and facilities on top of new developments not
only contributes to the socio-economic development of the region, but also serves to boost the flow of travellers to
Bach Ma National Park and Vietnam’s reputation as a tourist destination.

carefully sited throughout the islands, coast and mountains of this spectacular site, along with the creation of natural
preserves that will protect key sensitive marine (coral, seagrass and mangroves) and terrestrial (coastal, riparian,
volcano) ecosystems.

WATG is employing an integrated design team of strategists, planners, architects and landscapes architects, and leading
a collaborative effort with environmental and cultural experts, engineers (civil, infrastructure, aviation, marine) and others
to create a flexible master plan that incorporates the latest thinking on resort design, guest experiences, conservation,
sustainability, mobility, security, smart development and climate change within the master plan, development guidelines

premier eco-luxury resorts, be a world leader in global environmental tourism, deliver a carbon positive resort using
renewable energy, and form a regional community and offer an unrivalled destination experience. The design concept
took a concentrated development approach in consolidated pockets that preserves the rest of the island in its purest
state.

The design process included collaboration of the WATG design team with the airport consultant, marina consultant,
environmental specialists, and golf consultants in order to develop the final master plan.

entertainment center, convention center, golf course, horse racing track, yacht club + corporate
villas, casino, several retail gardens

This is a planning project for a literal fashion island (artificial island) in Hainan, China. The intent is to be the sixth largest
fashion center in the world behind London, Paris, Tokyo and New York. The challenge was to create a dynamic mixed-
use development on reclaimed land that would be designed using sustainable principles. The island is configured
to minimize the need for transportation, creating a central core so that a majority of the development is within short
walking distance. Access to the island is by ferry and train with a central transit hub. A monorail links the hub with all
major attractions and residential options with no more than a five minute walk from any transit stop. Solar, wind and
wave energies are harnessed to provide power to the development. Reclaimed water will be used for irrigation and
all produce will be grown locally. The architectural elements will use reclaimed and sustainable systems throughout
the development.
