The existing building—a former motorcycle fabrication shop—was transformed into a bustling space for the non-profit Prodigy Coffee operation. Prodigy’s 2000 sf operation includes a community meeting space, outdoor patio, classroom and Craft Coffee Learning Lab, as well as “third space” working spaces for the neighborhood. Prodigy hires and trains disadvantaged young people, providing job skills and life skills.

The midcentury, streamline modern character of the existing building inspired the form and appearance of the apartments—two stacked flats of 750 sf each.

Simplicity at Every Turn

Embracing an inclusive ethos, Hurley Place positions itself with the river as its focal point, inviting diverse communities and fostering economic vibrancy. The Riverfront development is comprised of two residential towers, a hotel tower, and an expansive central open space connecting to the river. This central connector is flanked by food & beverage and retail establishments and serves as both a connection to the Promenade but also a gathering space for the community.
