BroadBrook Center

Brook and Broadway Streets, Louisville, KY

Mixed-use retail center (2004)

Broadbrook is a downtown development that takes advantage of the pivotal location along the Louisville Medical District and I-65. A Walgreens anchors the Broadway frontage, on the site of the former Monarch auto dealership. Retail space and restaurants in the new commercial space utilize the character of the 120’ span bowstring trusses from a former bowling alley. The development serves as an example of adhering to the downtown development guidelines in the creative site strategies that provide street frontage & commercial tenant viewshed on a deep corner site, along with adequate parking, accessibility, landscaping and contextual design.

CITY Properties Group served as the developer and lead designer for the project, and may continue to develop this site in the future.
