Phillips Preiss was retained by the City of Englewood to conduct adaptive reuse feasibility analyses for two key public buildings: the Liberty School, a handsome historic school building, and the Wright Arena, a semi-enclosed ice rink. PPG provided the City of Englewood with a feasibility analysis for several reuse ideas which had been advocated by various constituencies in the community.
RIOC retained Phillips Preiss to conduct a retail market analysis and planning study to help Main Street realize its potential as the true town center of Roosevelt Island. The report revealed significant potential for more retail on Main Street and recommended a series of policy and urban design interventions to revitalize the commercial district.
Within one year of the completion of the study, RIOC moved forward with a central recommendation of the report by soliciting proposals for a master leaseholder for the Main Street retail spaces.
