The vision for Project “Emerald” is to transform the public perception of the area from a run-down, abandoned industrial park into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood creating a livable environment which drives lifestyle and becomes a desirable destination.  This will be accomplished by the development of a clear and practical layout of streets having enhanced access and identity, along with appropriately sized development parcels which will include planning flexibility and efficient land use. 

The project features a unique, mixed-use development concept, including retail outlets, hospitality centers, entertainment, and both business and residential facilities. It will include a variety of public amenity spaces – walkable, energized streets, plazas, courtyards, parks, and indoor gathering spaces.

The Master Plan provides an excellent solution to the added complexity of integrating existing office and industrial buildings.
