The Green at Wells Fargo, a multi-award-winning project, is a 1.5-acre landscaped park atop a four-level parking structure, situated in a mixed-use development while integrating retail shops and residential condominiums. The urban park includes seating, public art, water features, gathering spaces, and significant open lawn areas and is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and housing. It is adjacent to Three Wells Fargo Center, is bounded by College and South Tryon Streets, and includes approximately 60,000 square feet of retail and office space. Bolton & Menk was responsible for detailed site design. The most significant aspect of the park is the literary artistic theme for public art. Six artists created nine individual art projects located throughout the park to provide function, interaction, and aesthetic enhancement to the park experience.
