The Outfields | High Point, North Carolina

Story

There was a time when making furniture in High Point, NC, was wildly successful. This prompted the construction of a massive 13-million-square-foot furniture showroom downtown. However, that enormous space was only utilized twice each year. The rest of the year, downtown struggled with chains on doors and papers blowing down empty streets.

 

Solution

Assemble a master vision of 14 acres for downtown High Point that would include a vibrant development with an approximate 5,000-seat baseball stadium where people can connect and enjoy their life with another privately owned 7 acres to be developed in the future.

 

Impact

We created a cultural working magnet: office buildings in the heart of the new downtown; a manicured urban pocket park perfect for time outside and out-of-the-box thinking; a food hall overlooking the stadium (and a great place to work from your laptop) – it’s meticulously planned for workplace freedom – work in the office, near the office, or outside of the office – and love every minute of it.
