1020 TENTH STREET 2003 AIASV AWARD

Recalling the 1920's style of buildings on narrow 25’ wide downtown lots, the redevelopment firm, Civic Partners of Modesto, directed the architect to create  "Three Buildings in One Design" for the 1020 Tenth Street Project.  The project is the privately owned retail and office portion of the Tenth Street Plaza project located on the central Modesto blocks bounded by 9th to 11th Streets and J to K Streets.  Anchored by the JPA building which houses the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County offices, the pedestrian plaza is the main circulation from 1020 Tenth Street to the governmental offices, theaters, restaurants and to the parking garage.  The 1020 Tenth Street shell building completed the multiyear efforts of the Redevelopment Agency to transform the downtown core from aging empty hotel buildings into a vibrant urban setting. The results have been dramatic as the area is a focal point of activity throughout the day and night.
