At 2425 Eisenhower Ave., there's more than 18,000 square feet of open, grassy space. Until recently, the lot, which is owned by Rubenstein Partners LP, has remained unused except for the occasional dog romping with its owner.
The Eisenhower Partnership is working with the site owners to bring fresh life to the lot by creating a pop-up space that could be used for food trucks, markets, arts, musical performances and other recreational uses according to a recent application filed with the City.
The applicant envisions the lot being used for a variety of “outdoor “pop-up” uses in order to create a sense of place and an attraction to the site, prior to development while meeting the needs of nearby office workers and residents,” the application reads.
In the years to come, the site could eventually be developed — the Eisenhower East Small Area Plan conceives this parcel as a future office building ranging from 10-15 stories tall with ground floor retail.
Parking for the pop-up space is readily available in nearby parking garages and is walkable for residents and office workers in the area.
