We have a client developing approximately 100 acres aimed at Light Industrial users.
Their expectation is the typical 80's vintage "industrial park", ie large footprint single story buildings, lots of pavement/yard space and everything goes to bed at 5pm.
We are trying to push them toward a more mixed-use model with somewhat higher architectural standards and bike-ped infrastructure. Think: cool brew pub anchor with some live-work lofts across the street and some raw LI/'Maker' studios across from that. Of course there'd be a mehanic or two, maybe larger biotech, and typical food processing type stuff...
I'm getting desperate for some interesting examples large or small. Ideally, a district or development not just a standalone project. I recall finding something in Washington, maybe Tacoma a while back but cant find it again.

Any examples or places to look much appreciated!
A couple Detroit examples:
Check out Post
Check out Ponyride
Also Ivywild school (Colorado Springs)
Maybe Plexpod (Kansas City)
Most of the best examples I'm familiar with are adaptive reuse.
Also district-scale: Portland Pearl District, Wynwood Miami, maybe relevant. 100 acres is huge!
One more came to mind: Navy Yard, Philadelphia
