The idea was to create a
"vertical urban village" that
would be sustainable on many
levels (opposite, left). The
urban village is organized
around seven atria that bring
light in and people together
(opposite, right).

Inspired by a vision to
incorporate a variety of
uses, the project includes a
layer of 267 residential units at
the top and retail and restaurant components at the base
(this page).

over the length of the building, positioning a 550-student high school amid the center,
integrating the healthcare components where practical, and sprinkling various art
studios and galleries throughout, the designers assured that all users would intersect
in refreshingly interactive ways. They also preserved and recycled as many material
elements as possible, including 13 million pounds of steel and 54 million pounds
of concrete.
Since it was completed in late 2017, Crosstown Concourse is now 98.7
percent leased and has transformed the community with 3,000 people coming
in and out everyday and a variety of community events-from fundraisers to music
performances and fashion shows-regularly held in its atria. The structure has also
become a model for sustainable adaptive reuse leaders in other cities, who have come
to learn how they might apply Crosstown's lessons to their own obsolete facilities
around the globe. c
