Site Tour: Perelman Performing Arts Center
We are thrilled to offer Brick & Wonder Pro and Council members a private tour of one of New York’s most sensational new buildings – the Perelman Performing Arts Center.
The creation of a performing arts center is a key component of the 2003 Master Plan developed by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to rebuild the 16-acre World Trade Center campus.
Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) is a 129,000 square foot building on multiple levels. The performance space offers flexible layouts in three theater spaces that can be combined to provide dozens of seating configurations, and the lobby level includes a restaurant, bar, terrace, and stage open to the public.
PAC NYC has three flexible, intimate performance spaces. Automated walls and flexible seating systems enable numerous configurations that create a range of unique experiences for audiences and artists.
The tour will be generously facilitated by Sean Michael Cummings, PAC’s Director of Individual Giving, and led by direct project collaborators sharing their first-hand experiences working on the building.

Site Tour: Alloy Block
We are pleased to invite Brick & Wonder Pro & Council members to a private tour of the newly opened Alloy Block.
The Alloy Block, Downtown is five buildings, old and new, adjacent to Atlantic Terminal, that provide residential, educational, office, cultural, and retail spaces for people in Downtown Brooklyn.
Alloy Development led the development of New York’s first All-Electric Skyscraper, a mixed-use tower with 440 market rate and affordable homes and retail spaces along Flatbush Avenue. The building is the first tower of phase 1 of The Alloy Block and the inclusive design celebrates the creation of new spaces for diverse groups of people to live, work, and thrive. Community engagement and support of local non-profits have been central project goals and the tour will be led by designers who worked on various aspects of this project.

Site Tour Austin: Community First! Village
We are pleased to invite Brick & Wonder Pro & Council members in Austin & beyond to a private tour of the Community First! Village in Austin, TX, featuring 3D printed homes from ICON.
Community First! Village occupies 51 acres on Hog Eye Road in northeast Travis County.
This remarkable community development has been described by the New York Times as “one of the nation’s largest experiments in affordable housing to address chronic homelessness.”
It is currently home to more than 350 formerly homeless neighbors. With the completion of all homes projected by the end of 2023, it will soon provide housing and community for as many as 500 of our friends who once struggled to survive on the streets of Austin.
