Over the weekend, Plaza Art Fair — the Country Club Plaza’s signature event — returned for its 93rd year. The shopping district’s new owners, HP Village Partners, used the fair to unveil their latest masterpiece: Renderings of a re-imagined Plaza.
Wondering what to expect? Here are a few major changes we spotted:
Updated roads
Roads are now red. We also noticed more diagonal parking spots where parallel ones used to be. So no more sweating as you reverse and passersby watch you.
Flatter facades
Building curvatures have been flattened and a coat of paint replaces much of the red brick. While the Spanish style architecture remains, it seems to be more of an interpretation rather than a replica of the architecture of Seville, Spain, like in the district’s original design.
But don’t plan your shopping trip just yet — these images are strictly conceptual.
“As we continue to work toward a master plan for the Country Club Plaza and envision what this crown jewel of our community can become, these renderings serve merely as initial thoughts and ideas that we are currently evaluating and testing.“ — Drew Steffen, President and CEO, HP Village Management
