The Transition Scheme

The Transition Scheme provides an option which changes scale from a larger townhome and multifamily scale near Mercury Boulevard and transitions to a single-family/duplex scale as it knits back into the neighborhood. It features a green along S. Hancock Street which connects to a new entry into Patterson Park and a neighborhood pocket park along Minor Street.  The single family and duplex homes along Minor St. have front porches that face the treelined sidewalk/streets and most have private driveways like nearby neighborhood homes. Mercury Boulevard is lined with townhomes which give a larger scale and presence to the four-laned boulevard and parking is placed in the rear. On the corner of 1st Avenue and Mercury Boulevard a larger mixed-use building holds the corner with the medical clinic and MHA offices on the ground and second level with apartments on the upper level(s.)

Parkside is developed with multifamily rowhouses and an interior common greenspace opening to the Patterson Park development. The complex creates a front face to E. Castle St. and parking provides a buffer to the warehouse/storage functions on the neighboring property to the South.
