The Vital Core is an interior placemaking space which highlights the Promenade, a public pedestrian way offering shade, relaxation and social interaction
The northPort CloCk tower serves as its central axis point with tree-lined streets on either side
The fascinating Community Green is an open space filled with lawn and specialty gardens between an intricate path grid that echos the design of the community center
A Community Garden lies between the visitor parking garage and office space where northside residents can provide their families with fresh produce
