PCR prepared the EIR regarding Boeing Realty Corporation's Douglas Park Project, working closely with the City of Long Beach and Boeing. The project proposed the redevelopment of 260 acres of the Boeing Company's C-1 aircraft production facility adjoining the Long Beach Airport.

The project site had been improved for decades with over five million square feet of research and development (R&D), office, warehousing, manufacturing, and other aviation related uses, most of which has been demolished to make way for implementation of an extensive soils and a groundwater remediation program under order by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. With a mixed-use, urban center concept, Douglas Park would replace the existing improvements with up to 3.3 million square feet of new R&D, light industrial, office and retail uses, 400 hotel rooms, 1,400 residential units and the potential continuation of a small amount of aviation-related uses. PCR successfully managed several technically complex issues relating directly to project feasibility. Major among these was the City's desire for job production on the site versus Boeing's desire to maximize residential uses in response to active ongoing demand. Another significant constraint was the site's adjacency to the Long Beach Airport and issues of residential compatibility vis-à-vis airport noise and health risk.
