EAST END CAPITAL
ABOUT
Founded by Jonathon Yormak and David Peretz, East End Capital is a fully integrated real estate investment firm that identifies micro-markets within New York City and Miami that will outperform due to demographic trends, improving infrastructure and compelling fundamentals. The company has acquired over $1.3 billion worth of property, comprised of 2.25 million square feet of office, retail, and apartments and over 1 million square feet of development rights. East End has completed construction projects exceeding $250 million. East End currently has 18 team members in our offices in New York City and Miami.
STRATEGY
East End targets areas first and properties second. An area is analyzed largely through the lens of historical growth, employment data, population changes, median incomes, supply and demand characteristics, rents, past and repeat sales figures, and earmarked capital investment into infrastructure. East End seeks out off-market opportunities that are mismanaged, largely vacant, undervalued or otherwise distressed. Acquisitions generally possess a margin of economic safety due to a comparatively low-cost basis. Value is created through capital investment, operational improvements, branding, leasing, development, and a diligent focus on timely exit.
VALUES
The company seeks out-growth areas fueled by the arts and the creative class. East End adds value to their work through development and proactive asset management. Cutting-edge design, cost-conscious renovation, and timely development is a mainstay for the firm.

GENDER:+ Male and female
CULTURE/ETHNICITY:+ Multicultural users
SHARED VALUES AND BELIEF SYSTEMS:What is the cultural makeup of user population?
+ The user population is made up of people who are environmentally conscious and whose health standards are of high importance to them.

NTDEFINE THE USERS

+ Significant common values among users and employees are the importance of fresh and locally sourced food, the importance of sustainable design and sustainable living, and the importance of mental and physical wellness.
SYMBOLIC FORM:Is comfort from psychological symbols significant?
+ Yes. Our design goals include relieving user anxiety when shopping, and this will likely include inciting a feeling of comfort through different symbols and design features.
HEALTH:Self-supporting potential? Do they need personal physical assistance? Interceptive guidance needed? Physical signs? Information desk or kiosk support?
+ Yes. Users will have several options depending on preference and psychological/physical need when it comes to their shopping experience; they will either be able to do everything alone all the way through the checkout experience, or they will have the option to be provided with physical assistance and guidance. Wayfinding and physical signs will be inclusive and sensitive to all types of users.
PHYSIOLOGICAL + PSYCHOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTSSAFETY:
+ User safety is an important factor, as it connects to their anxiety levels when shopping.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE VS. ENVIRONMENTAL COMFORT:Is comfort the primary concern for all the senses?
+ User comfort is a primary concern for all the senses, as it deals with lowering the user’s anxiety.
ILLUMINATION NEEDS:What are the required tasks?
+ The illumination needs for the user will depend on the following tasks: shopping and browsing, checking out, dining, and lounging.
How significant is flexibility?+ Flexibility is significant when changing the
layout of the retail and restaurant environment to fit the changing needs of the consumer.
INDIRECT REQUIREMENTS:Is there a specific mood requirement?
+ The space should fit a calm and relaxing mood for the shopper.

PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS:How significant is this potential for well being, wayfinding, etc.? Where would this occur (landmarks, nodes, etc.)?
+ The user’s psychological needs are of high importance; these needs would be met when designing wayfinding, product display, and transitional spaces where traffic is high and stressors are usually found.
SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS:Where are the acoustical privacy needs (adjacencies)?
+ Acoustical privacy is most significant in places like checkout and the dining area.
CLIMATE CONTROL NEEDS:Significance for sense of overall comfort? Significance for sense of overall well being?
+ The user’s overall comfort and sense of well-being is of maximum significance throughout the entire shopping and dining experience, as our main purpose is to reduce anxiety and promote mental well-being.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:PLANNING + DEVELOPMENT
WAYFINDING REQUIREMENTS:Is there a need for landmarks, paths, nodes, districts, and regions? Is there a need for signage? Is there a need to use ambient conditions to enhance direction? Is there a need to mark space through structure and/or flexible elements?
+ Because we intend on redefining the usual food shopping experience, there is a definite need to use ambient conditions to enhance direction and to restructure wayfinding in the market setting to better guide the user through their experience. We will also need to mark space through structure and/or flexible elements when designing product display and store layout, as some aspects of the market will be permanent and others will be interchangeable depending on the user’s needs.

PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS:To what extent is personal space necessary?
+ Because markets tend to be crowded areas and thus lead to stress when shopping, personal space is a necessity when designing for this project.
Does the environment need to support a variety of activities?
+ Yes. The environment needs to support a variety of activities, from shopping, to dining, to the careful selection of fresh produce.
BELONGING NEEDS +SELF ACTUALIZATION
STYLE REFERENCE:What is the existing context? Should it be utilized in establishing the design direction?
+ The existing context is a mixed-use commercial building, which serves as a local hub for the community. This will definitely influence our design direction, as we aim to establish a similar concept.
INTERACTION CONSIDERATIONS:Is there a relationship between users? Is there potential for user discussion / interaction?
+ While there is not a direct need for user discussion/interaction, the same users will be frequently visiting the market and restaurant and will find themselves making relationships with each other and with the establishment’s employees, thus enhancing Wynwood’s sense of community.

COMPETENCE OF INDIVIDUAL USERWhere are comfortable areas important?
+ Comfortable areas are important everywhere, but more specifically in the dining setting; “hospitality” calls for comfort.
PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS (INTROVERT/EXTROVERT):Should environment relate to this unique need by providing both public and private places for people to gather?
+ Yes. The environment should provide the user with different levels of privacy to serve their preferred method of shopping and dining and maximize their comfort and mental wellness.

GOALS + OBJECTIVESTHE METROPOLITAN FRESH MARKET
OUR
STOR
Y
The goal of this project is to design a sustainable and permanent fresh market within a large metropolitan area that benefits the local community while also incorporating new and innovative technologies that facilitate a more convenient shopping experience.
MISSION STATEMENT
ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS + OBJECTIVES

The project should make the everyday task of shopping for food less stressful and more enjoyable.
FIGURE 5.
GOAL
S + O
BJEC
TIVES
FORM
FUNCTION
The environment should be comfortable, clean, and relaxing. It should be designed using natural elements and materials and make the user feel as if they are at home.
The facility will provide food that is grown on site using hydroponic farms. The hydroponic farm can be placed anywhere in or around the store and is able to grow multiple types of produce at once. it uses recycled water and composted materials.
People will be able to pick their own food directly from the farm. This allows the user to feel confident in where their food is coming from and also promotes a more healthy diet.
The facility will incorporate technology that allows the user to move throughout the area in a more efficient way and will eliminate the feeling of being lost or unsure.
ECONOMY
TIME
Sell only locally sourced food or food grown directly on site
Utilize water conservation methods and use only recycled materials
Limit the amount of travel needed to transport goods to and from the store
In the future, more markets could be built using the techniques utilized in this project and the typical chore of shopping will no longer be seen as a chore but as something enjoyable.
