Our plan for the 18.9-acre site at 305 South Congress encompasses over 7 acres of urban living with 3.5 million square feet of office, hotel, residential and retail space, over 8 acres of dedicated parkland and plaza space, and over 3.5 acres of public realm streets including protected bike lanes and 5 new ADA access points to the Butler Hike and Bike Trail. Created by a partnership of Endeavor Real Estate Group and the Cox family, 305 South Congress will provide enhanced connections to and along the waterfront and expanded public open space. This new neighborhood will offer an exciting pedestrian environment and will leverage multi-modal transit access enhancing mobility within the urban core.
