Potential abounds for this strong corner
on Broadway in Downtown Fargo. The
site was identified by City of Fargo parking
consultants as a prime strategic location
for the development of a mixed-use
parking garage. It is surrounded by vibrant
retail and restaurants and established
residential spaces. Kilbourne Group
is excited to embark on the journey of
gathering ideas for this corner from the
community, exploring design concepts,
and creating an infill development that
meets the goals of the GO2030 Fargo
Comprehensive Plan and that future
generations can be proud of.
