22 DRAFT 19 FEB 2010 Block C Multi-family Duplexes with tuck under A steep incline, descending drastically from the northeast corner, places a constraint upon the design of this block. In order to mediate the topography, a series of measures will need to be taken. The duplexes along Crawford Street step down via tuck under parking to a lower central parking bay. A retaining wall separates the upper level of this bay from a slightly lower row of parking, which accesses the townhouses. Sloped alleys then descend to meet street level along Fulton Street. Larger multi-family buildings line the block ends, and engage with the grade to step down in scale towards the residential neigh- Site Section through Block C BLOCK C parking Flats over townhouses Multi-family Split level surface parking with sloped access 2010 urban design associates borhood of Crawford Square.

24 DRAFT 19 FEB 2010 Block E Double-loaded apartments The newly proposed residential neighborhood revolves around the shared community clubhouse and public park. The green park illustrated here contains walking paths, benches, and shady trees for neighbors to gather. A hardscaped corner provides formal seating while the grassy embankment creates a tranquil setting. The grass also follows a gentle slope and provides natural stormwater management.

25 DRAFT 19 FEB 2010 Block G 10 story residential tower Double-loaded The sight lines from this block perched on the edge of the bluff provide an excellent location for higher density housing. Urban apartments, closely linked to the multi-use entertainment district, are distinguished by the proximity of a variety of uses and desired for their active setting. Situated on the edge of the site, heights may increase to 10 stories in the residential tower along Bedford Avenue, overlooking downtown without impeding the views from the Consol Energy Center and other neighbors. A tower at the corner of Lemieux Place and Wylie Avenue completes the commercial core and anchors the entertainment district.

27 DRAFT 19 FEB 2010 Block I Anchor office tower Double-loaded Attention to design and detail are vital to this anchor of development. Two office towers carefully located on the west side, clearly visible from downtown as well as completely integrated into the Arena District s entertainment core, have the potential to be distinguished as landmark buildings and provide primary tenants access to the best the city has to offer. In addition to significant office space, ground floor retail and high-end residential units may be incorporated into these buildings.
