Modern mixed-use building at Prospect

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.
