Delray Beach would benefit tremendously from this Green Project for many reasons. The positive PR generated by this project will help attract more tourism to the area. Delray Beach will become recognized as a “green” community by approving this type of construction complimenting such attractions like the green market adding to the charm appeal of the city. The building itself will drastically improve the immediate area that it is located in, providing a cultural and socially important piece of architecture as well as attracting a retail and professional tenant base, thus reducing crime and loitering in the immediate area. Two of the floors will be used for professional offices ie. for lawyers, doctors, realtors, etc. One of the floors will be used as a gallery type environment perhaps with a cafe and small retail area. The top floor will be an open loft residential/studio area that I intend to live and work in personally as an artist. The area of the completed construction dedicated to Louis Persley could be an important Library/Museum area for local and visiting people to learn about his legacy and contribution to architecture in our country as well as other recognized architect and art pioneers in history and currently working architects/designers that are dedicated to Green Building projects.
