A large-scale apartment and retail complex being completed in the city’s Northwood Village neighborhood will feature an eye-catching bronze sculpture that peers back at passersby.
The striking 10-foot-tall artwork is intended to be a signature focal point in a public plaza at the new District at Northwood complex, which will feature 382 apartments, a plaza and 60,000 square feet of commercial space.
The piece, entitled “Crossroads,” depicts a spherical, cartoon-like figure peering up out of the ground near the corner of Northwood Road and Broadway in West Palm Beach.
City commissioners last month approved the design for the piece, which is being built to comply with the city’s Art in Public Places program.
The 4-acre District complex is being developed by Immocorp Ventures in partnership with the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, which owned the property.
