The revitalized Park Central took a major step forward on Friday, as one of its defining public features opened to the public for the first time.
The “Front Porch” section of the project — the outdoor dining area facing Central Avenue and shared by several of the project’s restaurants — is now 100 percent complete and is open to patrons. The unique outdoor dining space will create a significant new amenity for employees working at the project as well as nearby residents, employees and visitors.
The space provides an expansive outdoor dining area with a variety of options for patrons. It is the first portion of the redevelopment to become 100 percent complete, although the restaurants — which include Starbucks, First Watch, Jamba Juice, Fired Pie, Jimmy Johns, Pita Bistro and Thai Basil — all remained open during the construction period. Kobalt Bar and Michael’s Jazz Club are also located at Park Central.
