Hamilton Plaza 3D Proposal (Part 2)

Previously... on the Planner 47 blog

Its basically some origin story, just go look at the previous post to catch up already.

And now... the continuation.

The Hamilton Plaza 3D model overall:

It falls in line with the "suburban retrofit" type of thinking though on a basic level when taken as a whole.  Buildings are perpendicular to the existing shopping center and brought to the point where it resembles an urbanist development.  The buildings extend to the street in question, State Route 4 and amenities for walkability and bikeability are accounted for.

A smaller building at the entrance of the shopping center

Note: Intriguingly, another sub shop opened in the real life Hamilton Plaza, a Subway.

Main entrance of the shopping center - refitted

Note: I know Borders is closed, don't bother pointing it out...

Next, here is the northern side of the proposal, also dubbed the secondary entrance due to its design and format.  Some of the existing strip business buildings on the periphery were removed and the tenants placed into the proposed buildings.

 Note 2: I'm well aware of Blockbuster's closure, so don't bother pointing that out either...

The other side of the street side building at the secondary entrance (near "nature" mini park)

This is the core of the Hamilton Plaza 3D model.  An upcoming post will be a somewhat satirical evaluation, showing things that were missed, poking a little fun, and comparing the model as it stands to what I've learned since then.
