Dawveed Scully, Urban Planning Associate Director at SOM, noted that, "We envision a dynamic mix of community spaces, accessible to all local residents and connected to the surrounding neighborhoods. With flexible spaces that can be used year-round, our plan creates an ecosystem that cultivates upward mobility anchored by entrepreneurialism." Courtesy of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) As the team explains, Englewood Connect is designed to "elevate Englewood residents through a mixed-use, phased development strategy focused around a flexible public space called the Green Street Commons." In turn, they created the Englewood Living Room, a proposed year-round pavilion for markets, co-working spaces, exhibitions, and places for the community gatherings. The plan also includes the restoration of the landmark “castle” Firehouse station, originally built in 1929, into a multi-purpose venue.
