• Mixed use, mixed income neighborhood of urban character, scale, and density
• Walk-able, bike-able, and transit-oriented community
• Lively district of economic, cultural, educational, residential, and entertainment activity
• Mix of new construction, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse that exemplifies quality architecture and        sustainable and green building practices
• Model for low impact district that protects the watershed and celebrates green spaces.
