Construction on Museum Plaza is expected to start in early 2007 amd be completed in 2010.
A city within a city, Museum Plaza is a place to showcase contemporary art, curb suburban sprawl by drawin residents to downtown, and strengthen Louisville’s West Main Street Historic District. When complete, it will encompass some 1.5 million square feet of multi-purpose space in multiple towers, the tallest reaching 61 stories. Shaped by a desire to serve and challenge the city it embraces, the iconic architecture blends residential, retail, office, education, and leisure activities into a fascinating urban neighborhood. And it will fund and sustain a center for contemporary art unprecedented in the region.
The Sales & Design Center is located at 707 W. Main Street in Louisville. It is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and by appointment on the weekends.
Museum Plaza will be constructed on Seventh Street, between River Road and Main Street, on part of the old Kingfish restaurant site. The city owns the land and is giving it to the Museum Plaza developers.
Some people will be enamored of Museum Plaza's design, Abramson predicted, while others will question it. The building will be the first skyscraper built in Louisville since the 35-story Capitol Holding Center, now called the Aegon Tower, opened in 1993. It likely will evoke strong opinions, Abramson said -- as did the Humana Building when its design was unveiled in 1982. The mayor acknowledged that, when he first saw Museum Plaza's design in mid-December, he wasn't sure how to react.
