The dramatic rebirth of the Pike & Rose shopping center underscores the important role horticulturally rich and site-specific detail-oriented landscape architecture plays in establishing a connection between people, place, and nature.

The property owners, Federal Realty Investment Trust, had a vision for what this former strip shopping center could be transformed into: a botanically-rich urban atmosphere for people to eat, play, work, and live, all surrounded by natural beauty. Clinton + Ries Landscape Architects answered with a campus-like master plan centered on connected pedestrian spaces and filled with art, restaurants, greenspaces, and more. 

Twenty-three acres of asphalt has been replaced with 21,000 cubic feet of green roof space. Outdoor rooms, plazas, play spaces and intimate terraces offer lushly shady gardens, featuring decorative water features, dramatic lighting, comfortable furniture, shaded seating, and seasonal flourishes to tie together the owner’s vision. A number of sculptural elements can be found throughout the property, located for both visual appeal and to engage the surrounding arts rich community.
