Excelsior 8< Grand is the result of a community <br />wide visioning process that created a plan for redeveloping an eight square <br />block area into a vibrant space for living, shopping and working. It <br />represents the new, transit related, pedestrian friendly, vertically <br />integrated, mixed-use downtown which this community has never had. <br /> <br />The centerpiece of the 19 acre projectls theTown Green; a 2.75 acre public <br />open space fronted by retail shops and restaurants. Elements such as <br />decorative street lighting, banners, seasonal planters, public art, arbors, <br />fountains and decorative pavers reinforce the pedestrian atmosphere and <br />promote the image of a vital community destination. The Town Green <br />connects the major arterial street on the south with the existing public <br />park on the north. This is designed to encourage public events and <br />activities, both planned and spontaneons. <br /> <br />The Masterplan calls for 660 apartment homes and condominiums for <br />a variety of income levels, on the upper levels of the mixed-use <br />buildings. The ground floors contains 76.000 square feet of retail and <br />restaurant space. Additional retail/service space occupy the ground <br />llooroftwo 'boutique" office buildings totaling 130,000 square feet. <br /> <br />A five hundred person Veterans' Memorial amphitheater provides a <br />space for community eventa and also provides ADA access to nearby <br />Wolfe park. The unique partnership between private development and <br />public open space results in a space that reflects the vision of the <br /> <br />community. <br /> <br /> <br />Excelsfor a Grand Master Plan <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />( <br />( <br />( <br /> <br />( <br />( <br /> <br />(, <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />(\ <br />, <br />(, <br /> <br />(, <br />(, <br />o <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />C <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />( <br />( <br /> <br />lz.t <br /> <br />I <br />, <br />
