ONE JACKSON PLACE
Jackson, Mississippi
The firm participated
as a member of a three-firm joint venture* to design this office building
for Eastover Corporation and the A.P. Keller Company. Rising 14 stories amid the Central Business District of downtown Jackson, MS, the $13 million office building represented Phase One of a proposed $100 million multi-user complex which was master planned on a 4-acre site.
The building features 190,000 SF of prime office space and overlooks an indoor/outdoor multi-user public plaza. A major goal of the development was to enhance the quality of life for downtown workers by creating an open area for the performing arts. A National Endowment of the Arts matching grant to the Jackson Arts Alliance helped establish plaza activities, which included major arts and music festivals and weekly public lunch time performances.
• The project received an Honor Award for outstanding design from the American Society of Landscape Architects
* The CB&D Group was a joint venture of Cooke, Douglass, Farr, Ltd, Barlow and Plunkett, and Dean/Dale and Dean Architects
