Urban Designer and Planner

An urban designer at Civitas, Soonhyuck ‘Soon’ Choi is a planner, a problem solver, and a strong client advocate who is passionate about seeing projects through the full spectrum of design, from start to finish.

Soon joined Civitas after earning a master’s degree in urban design at the University of Colorado, Denver. His thoughtful approach to design is shaped by his willingness to ask questions and investigate a project’s underlying challenges, defining the project’s core guiding principles that ultimately inform the best solutions. Motivated by his own passions for family and community, Soon applies his human-centric approach to numerous master planning projects including Broomfield Town Square, Pikes Peak Park, and Painted Prairie—which has been named community of the year in multiple national award programs.

Influences

Having worked on Broomfield Town Center since 2016, I’ve had the opportunity to experience this project through every phase from competing for the work, design validation, zoning and entitlements, working with the city, and of course architecture and design. It is definitely my epic project, and I continue to learn and gain much fulfillment from it.”
