On November 14 the Design Team made up of Populous and Olin Studios presented three preliminary design concepts with two variable options. These scenarios were built upon community input and include common themes heard during the engagement process.

The themes include:

  • Green spaces/parks/common areas

  • New performing arts and convention centers, planned with uninterrupted operations for the performing arts organizations

  • Various combinations of mixed-use buildings, which could include restaurants, retail shops, offices and residential spaces

  • A pedestrian bridge that connects the east bank to the new developments on the west bank

  • Plenty of options for parking

Each scenario comes with an estimated cost, which range from $970 million to $1.5 billion. Possible funding options will be provided with the final design proposal after the first of the year.
