FLOOR PLANS:

To develop an overall urban design framework for the development of the central riverfront which would capitalize on the major public investment in the stadiums and structured parking.

The result of that effort was The Banks, a September 1999 report from the Advisors which contained recommendations on land use, parking, finance, phasing, and developer selection for the Central Riverfront. The final Master Plan includes The Banks recommendations from the advisors.[4] The Banks Working Group said the morning of June 15, 2007 it has an "agreement in principle" under which Carter[5] and The Dawson Company[6] will serve as master developers for the Banks, a $1 billion riverfront project. The non-binding agreement calls for 300 apartments in the first phase, followed by 100 condominiums and 70,000 square feet (7,000 m2) of retail. It will also include an unspecified amount of office space. The agreement also sets a policy on economic inclusion and workforce development that will allow for the inclusion of minority and female owned businesses.
