Kicking off the $400 million, 27-acre first phase of the mixed-use development will be approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of loft office and 32,000 sq. ft. of retail, including two adaptive re-use buildings. With a focus on nature, Quarry Yards will also feature a 70-foot outdoor climbing wall on the side of the new loft office building, in addition to its four-acre community greenspace.

"With the Proctor Creek Greenway as the heartbeat of our property, and our location at the doorstep of the Westside Quarry Park, we have focused the design of Quarry Yards on nature, outdoor exploration and recreation," said Mark Teixeira - co-founder and principal, Urban Creek Partners. "We are also proud to adapt some of the current structures on the site to preserve history in the Grove Park neighborhood," he added.

Quarry Yards is currently hosting a variety of outdoor and nature-related classes being offered by REI, including photography, bicycle basics, mountain biking skills, and cycling tours along Proctor Creek Greenway. The retailer will also host outdoor events such as live music, full-moon gatherings and more.
