The Ritz/The Plaza
These two multi-family buildings are pedestrian-friendly, urban buildings that define the streetscape through the use of uniform setbacks and closely planted shade trees. Their design promotes interaction and safety with semi-permeable facades including windows, entryways and balconies, and have connections to adjoining retail uses. The corners of the two buildings along Parkside Center Boulevard mark the transition into the neighborhood in a distinct fashion using massing, additional height, contrasting materials, and architectural embellishments. The buildings define the street with reduced setbacks, there is structured parking, and enhanced paving for the connection to adjoining retail uses are designed to promote pedestrian circulation.
