New Corporate Green

“New Corporate Green” is a functional design approach creating a high density business district for the west side of Manhattan, KS. Incorporating a variety of retail storefronts, office spaces, and residential lofts will allow for actively growing development on the current sites of Plaza West and Garden Way along Seth Child Road.

Residents and visitors alike enjoy the waterfall lookout point that provides a solution to runoff, as well as a relaxing outdoor amenity.

The intersection features landscaped swales and a landmark tower feature that give district identity and recognizable character.

Green corridors have fountains and planting beds that provide seasonal interest and outdoor gathering spaces for employees and customers alike.

The district’s high density development is located on elevated building pads that will be resilient to future flooding. A thoughtfully designed streetscape promotes a unique district identity at the intersection of Anderson Ave. and Seth Child Rd. The transformation of this busy arterial intersection to include a pedestrian-friendly urban plaza will act as a focal point for the new district and be a defining gateway for the west side of Manhattan.

A wetland walking trail provides wildlife and nature experiences accessible to all ages.
