Description: “A development proposal for Alton, IL” focus development efforts on an empty lot in the city’s downtown corridor that borders the marina. The goal of this project is to elevate the experience of downtown and activating the marina by playing up Alton’s best feature. Its location in the “breadbasket” and the great outdoors! To do so, we propose the development of a mixed-use building that includes a rock-climbing gym, luxury dining facility, short term rentals, and traditional apartments. The site program caters to the adventurer and the creative class looking for something with a little bit of an edge.
