White Plains DRI

Nexus Creative collaborated with the City of White Plains and Nelson + Pope to conceptualize architectural and urban planning solutions in conjunction with  integrated branding/graphics initiatives- to support their Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) grant submission. 

Encompassing three “pocket” type parks, all services were aligned with a mission to enhance community identity, support grant approval, and improve public spaces by aligning with the city's Comp Plan.  

• KEY ELEMENTS

  • Designing parks and public spaces aligning with White Plains’ One + Comp plan towards utilizing outdated and latent land parcels to better service diverse recreational and park space needs within three White Plains neighborhood fabrics.   

  • Developing a cohesive brand identity for the parcels to reflect White Plains’ cultural and historic heritage while reinforcing future aspirations. 

  • Create conceptual master plans, renderings and graphic boards for community workshops to obtain resident feedback. 

  • Preparing a comprehensive graphic package branding the DRI Park initiatives while leveraging White Plains One + branding signatures to seamlessly merge the DRI grant submission.
