Overview

Capital One Center is a 26-acre mixed-use retail and cultural arts destination. It brings a vibrant community together with restaurants, shops, community events, and a state-of-the-art performance hall, all of which is anchored by the headquarters of Capital One. The crown jewels of this project include Capital One Hall, to be used as both a large on-site meeting facility and serve as affordable event space for community arts organizations; and “The Perch” known as the park in the sky, which allows guests to experience artwork, walk through a park, enjoy games, food and beverage and watch performances. This multi-level project was designed to improve this busy urban area’s walkability and connectivity, demonstrate how the area’s old office parks can be reimagined, and tie it to the city’s storm water management plan. All of these things are designed to create an environmentally conscious area where people can live, work and recreate.
