From Parking Lot to Intrigue
A New Urban town, just like an organic community, is never really complete. The community is constantly changing to meet new demands. The picture above was taken this weekend in Celebration, FL. All of the residential buildings in the foreground were built in the last 12 to 16 months. However, the church steeple was built at least 7 years ago.
What was once a flat parking lot is now a beautiful residential condominium complex that adds density and new interesting views to an already successful community. Despite the fact that many in the town were not keen on losing parking spaces, these new buildings really do add a great level of density to the town center. In addition, more residents should result in more profits for local businesses.
Personally, I enjoy finding views like this one. This is proof that the architects and planners actually thought about the site plan and how the new condos would interact with the existing structures.
