The proposed urban development plan is inspired by the desire to marry the history of the neighborhood with a sustainable, contemporary design. This goal will be accomplished through designing sensitive building massing and architectural detailing and by creating a dynamic pedestrian experience with ground level commercial and social activities. Residential rental and/or condominium apartments will be the primary use above the street level, with a proposed office component at the Crown Street end of the site, taking advantage of the proximity to the train station and capturing commuter-oriented business tenants. The project will incorporate sustainable principles, utilizing both low-tech strategies such as advantaging building orientation, daylight and green roofs as well as high-tech mechanisms such as photovoltaic panels and co-generation.
