Braves Village

Development Vision
Divisions of land uses have been kept to a minimum to help create a livable pedestrian environment. The primary area of commercial space on the site will be located on the “back gate end” of Alcorn State Univeristy. The a portion of the site will be a mini golf course and residential community and student village within walking distance of adjacent retail shopping, entertainment, recreation and classes. The mid-rise residential community will be flanked by the retail village and Hotel to the east and west and complementary shops (coffee houses, retail and Grocery store, Beauty, and Barber shops, etc.) will dot the streetscape. The northern portion of the site is reserved primarily for a golfing /residential communities and research village affiliated with the state college and new technology startups.
Proposed Property Use
Develop a smart community with 21st century infrastructure. This development will include smart grid infrastructure for water, power, sewage, and gigabit broad band internet. The development team will also develop construction projects on site using green building technology that boost efficiency of power and water consumption.
A key component in the Braves Village development is walkability and a 24/7 living aspect with autonomous public transit. In conjunction with the hotel, retail area and the office space, this development will include a moderate density of class A office space flanked with green space as daily public attraction. Hotel uses will be in proximity to office space.
