Alternate visions of the Saratoga City Center

posted Apr 17, 2009 | map this

saratoga cc wall of glassThe Post-Star's Drew Kerr has gotten a hold of the alternate designs for the Saratoga City Center's expansion. (The design that was originally picked hasn't gone over well.)

We actually kind of like the design called "Sheet of Glass" -- it's modern, but incorporates Saratoga's trademark brick. And it seems to blend well with the already-existing part of the building. It also looks like it might be a little more pedestrian-friendly.

So, is the design going to change? The City Center Authority has said that some "good suggestions" came out of the public hearing before the city's Design Review Commission this week.
