Viera is a master planned community containing over 50 neighborhoods, shopping, dining, medical and industrial parks and a series of recreational facilities, all situated along side the planned 5,000 acre conservation area, known as The Viera Wilderness Park.  Its land, owned and developed by the Viera Company, has a rich history and exists today as grazing land for the cattle, raised by A. Duda & Sons. Situated at the core of all the current and future development will be Viera’s Town Center.  From the Monday morning jog to the Friday evening movie in the park, it was paramount to focus on the role of the public realm, including Viera’s parks, streets, sidewalks, and trails within the Town Center and surrounding neighborhoods.  Focusing on connectivity while studying form, scale, proportion and material, Dix.Hite’s goal was to create a vision that focused on the everyday user, whether resident or visitor.  Rather than creating a Vision Plan from above, Viera’s Town Center Vision was portrayed by the Dix.Hite team through the eyes of the everyday user, harmonizing their experiences with the natural landscape. This project is ongoing, but many phases are currently under construction and completed.
