Located on a bluff overlooking a river, the 10-story Peabody Plaza is positioned in the vibrant live, work and play Rolling Mill neighborhood adjacent to the intersection of two main commuter routes. The development replaces an existing parking lot with 290,000 sq ft of office, retail, and restaurant space, along with an adjacent park.

Wells worked collaboratively to create the facade, which is patterned with concrete, brick, and glass. This artistic combination, which looks more like a painting than a structure on a sunny day, earned the project Best Office Building in PCI’s 2021 Design Awards. The facade’s pattern is derived from the organization of the adjacent historic trolley barns and erodes to all-glass southeast and northwest corners to denote major entry locations.
