Envisioned as a civic contribution that connects people to a rich urban experience, 百老汇块 is a $215 million development that is located in the heart of downtown Long Beach. The project marks one of the city’s largest developments and holds a total of 700,000 sq. ft. It transforms a once-empty parking lot into a 23-story tower on 3rd Street and a seven-story structure along Broadway. 结合, it will provide 400 residential units with art galleries, 餐厅, 食品和零售空间, 创造性的办公室, 并可停放582辆车.
打造适合步行的市中心, the heart of the 百老汇块 is an engaging pair of “paseos” open to the public, linking three diverse and vibrant inner-block courtyards to surrounding streets, and a light rail stop connecting downtown Long Beach to downtown Los Angeles. 不像大多数 多用途 projects of this scale, there is no “mall” or shopping street. Instead, there is a series of five interlocked courtyards or urban rooms. Each courtyard has its own distinct function and personality. The historic one-story Acres of Books Building at the heart of the block is repurposed and surrounded by a mix of low- and high-rise structures.
Energy efficiency and sustainability are integral to the 百老汇块 concept. 这座塔位于北面, and lower-scaled buildings are on the south to allow abundant winter sunlight and natural warmth to penetrate the paseo and courtyards.
