Excelsior & Grand is the result ofa community <br />"ide \isioning process that created a plan for rede\'eloping an eight square <br />block area into a \ibrant space for living, shopping and working. It <br />represents the new, transit related, pedestrian friendly, \'ertieally <br />integrated, mixed-use downtown which this community has ne\'er had. <br /> <br />The centerpiece of the '9 acre project is the Town 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 \ital community destination. The Town Green <br />connects the major arterial street on the south "ith the existing public <br />park on the north. This is designed to encourage public e\-ents and <br />acthities, both planned and spontaneous. <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 />floor of two "boutique" office buildings totaling '30,000 square feet. <br /> <br />A five hundred person Veterans' Memorial amphitheater prO\ides a <br />space for community e\'ents and also prO\ides ADA access to nearby <br />Wolfe park. The unique partnership between pri\'ate development and <br />public open space results in a space that reflects the \ision of the <br />community. <br /> <br /> <br />". <br />r-.:- n~- <br /> <br />, <br />...!n Dr _11 <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />Excelsior &: Grand Master Plan <br />
