Cascades at Carlsbad Canal District
Carlsbad, NMThe Cascades at Carlsbad is a “brownfield” redevelopment project on the Pecos River, converting an old Santa Fe/Burlington Northern Railroad switching yard to a new Canal Entertainment/Cultural/Recreation District adjacent to Downtown. The shaded Canal will be lined with a Science Center, the National Cave and Karst Research Institute, as well as Restaurants and Specialty Retail, laced with unique fountains and water features. Office and Residential will be located on some 2nd and 3rd floors. A new Water Park will be across the street from the Canal District. Future phases would include an extension of the Canal to cascade into the River, as well as an Amphitheater/Marina, and Bridge across the top of the upper Tansil Dam. This new District is across the River from the Pecos Village Conference Center. OZ Architecture along with ERM and EDAW prepared the overall Urban Design Plan and detailed documents for the first phase of the Cascades project for the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Department of Development.
