MLK and Center

  • Facade Option 1

Redeveloping the vacant iconic corner building, 2673 N MLK Drive, to continue the investment along Martin Luther King Drive (MLK) is the primary goal of the visioning proposal. The BID wants to create a destination for residents and visitors that will activate the busy corner of MLK Drive and Center Street. Two concepts were presented to the BID board for review and discussion of market impacts, reuse options, and the best alternative for investment. Option 2, the office and podcast space on the ground floors, with residential on the upper floors, was selected. Option 1 included a restaurant and cafe on the ground floor and offices and housing on the upper floors. Renderings illustrate how the building could be redeveloped and become an asset for the area.
