N.Y. Firm to Redo Pershing Sq.
A New York architectural firm was selected today to design the $12.5-million renovation of downtown’s Pershing Square Park.
A plan by SITE Projects Inc. was selected over 240 other proposals by a jury of architects, artists and local civic leaders. It calls for the square-block park to be rimmed with palm trees and dotted with clusters of “mini-environments” built around a restaurant and plant-woven trellis. The city’s Community Redevelopment Agency is contributing $6 million to the renovation, with the rest raised by a nonprofit corporation.
