When New York's Rogers Marvel Architects (RMA) finishes work on SandRidge Commons (left) in 2014, the site'which is anchored by a soon-to-be-renovated 30-story office tower designed by Pietro Belluschi in 1967'will include a series of connected public greens and two administrative-office buildings for oil and natural-gas company SandRidge Energy. The project, a collaboration with Chicago-based landscape designers Hoerr Schaudt and Arup's environmental group, aims to bring restaurants, shops, and other amenities downtown, says RMA principal Rob Rogers. It will incorporate nearby Kerr and Couch parks and, with the renovation of the Belluschi building, create SandRidge's new downtown headquarters. |
