Farwell Yards

The Farwell Yards serve as a vibrant and resilient centerpiece for an emerging creative community along the Mississippi River. Rooted in a deep respect for the site’s industrial legacy, the landscape artfully integrates remains of a former factory, restored ecologies, and public space to catalyze social, cultural, and economic renewal. Weathered steel, reclaimed materials, and layered plantings reference the working waterfront’s history while signaling a bold new chapter for the site. At its heart, a dynamic public court invites gathering, performance, and everyday use, establishing a welcoming destination within this evolving neighborhood.
