Project Overview
Proposed Uses
Overview: Our general philosophy on proposed uses has not changed substantially. However, securing a major tenant for the Daniels Addition and first floor of Mack Building has allowed our vision to crystallize.
Prospective Tenant Profiles describe program (space, infrastructure) requirements of committed and potential tenants. See Additional Information. Proposed uses within specific building areas and other building modifications are described below.
Daniels Showroom (1940s Addition): First floor: The New Chelsea Market – retail grocer, with focus on organic, natural and specialty foods and local produce and other goods. Limited eye-catching retail display from local artisans. Small Chelsea Information Kiosk. Historic photos and other secured displays. Open flow to Mack Building. Rooftop: Rooftop patio garden housing a portion of the dining space for a Restaurant. Egress: New public stair with artistic flair. Elevator installation will be accounted for in the layout, but may be deferred, pending review of ADA variance request.
Mack Building: First Floor: Continuation of The New Chelsea Market - Indoor market, local produce, local artisans, small retail shopping, and eventually, a modest commercial kitchen. Second Floor: Portion of restaurant (overlapping from showroom rooftop patio), with performance space for live music or theatre. In the interim, second flood may be rented for special events.
Mack-Livery Connector: Egress passage for Mack and Livery Buildings. On-grade loading dock with air, fire and security locks for both buildings. Stair from floor level to back alley grade allows access to refuse (dumpsters/ recycling) in rear, and possibly public access from nearby Church to parking along railroad.
Livery Building: First floor: The New Craftsmen Workshop - working primarily on larger scale projects - in wood, metal, stone – furniture, furnishings, art, building components. Enclosed, secure parking for residents/ tenants – approximately 8 spaces. Secure, compartmentalized storage for building tenants - bike storage for residents, stock storage for retail shops, and chair and table storage for flexible use space. Public restrooms. Second floor: Approximately 8 studio apartments with an urban edge. High quality but clean, minimalist look. Second floor also includes 500 to 1000 SF of shared collaborative living space, laundry. Premium energy efficiency and sustainability are focal points of design and marketing for these units. Third floor: New community rooftop garden for tenants – approximately 500 SF enclosed, and 500 SF covered patio, surrounded by 4000 SF roof garden (green roof).
