Mercantile Place Ground Floor Activation
Neighborhood:Main Street District
TIF DistrictDowntown Connection
Program:Commercial
Individual tenant finish out should be arranged in a way that maximizes visibility into the space for the passing pedestrian -
Individual tenant uses should arrange internal functions to allow for active and lively street frontages, maintaining transparency into tenant spaces wherever possible.
Opportunities to spill activity out into the public realm should be pursued where sidewalk space permits. Thought should be given toward how to best accomplish this given the proposed uses -
Guidance is desired in regard to outdoor seating arrangement and incorporation into the overall public realm.

Context Description
The ground-level activation of Mercantile Place proposes the tenant finish out of the existing retail storefronts fronting Ervay Street between Commerce Street and Main Street at the base of Mercantile Tower. The ground floor along Ervay will be divided into multiple tenant spaces which will include a variety of commercial uses and potential associated outdoor seating.
Primary considerations for the project include meeting the existing historic preservation criteria for the existing building, improvements to streeetscape and the public realm, and the arrangement and placement of additional outdoor seating opportunities to contribute to the activation the streetscape.
