Activating City Center one storefront at a time.

In our ever expanding city, we have seen each district develop its own personality. City Center is beginning to lay groundwork for its identity, and Open Spaces aided in its revival and sustainability as a destination. Open Spaces windows created a bridge between the Southside and Riverfront allowing people to move through the district in an inviting and comfortable setting.
