Modern mixed-use building at Prospect

  • Prospect New Town
An example of one of the modernist buildings for which Prospect is best known, this building is also a good example of something that for which Prospect deserves more attention — the easy and natural way that mixed-uses continue and taper off as one moves from the formal town center to streets of more residential character, just as they would if one were moving from a busy street to a less-busy street in a long-established neighborhood. And as you can see from the mature trees, more than a dozen years into its construction, Prospect is becoming a more established and firmly rooted place itself.

Town Center at Prospect New Town

  • tenacity
  • third place
  • town center
A coffee shop and wine shop with residential units above are two anchors of the village center at Prospect. With a sushi restaurant, diner and eyeglass shop included in the small retail grouping, the mixed-use center circa 2008 isn't exactly bustling but it feels intact and pretty well established. And the coffee shop certainly has customers flowing in and out all day. Construction is underway on a mixed-use building across the street.
