The Polo Club Condominium Association built a $1.7 million project to restore the underground parking garage roof and the garden on the top of the garage roof.  The project was initiated in the summer of 2005 with the removal of the landscaping on the roof and the removal and replacement of the waterproofing membrane.  Repairs to the garage structure were completed in fall of 2007.  New plazas, walking paths and landscaping were installed by the spring of 2008.

The entire project will extend over five years with additional amenities being added each year.  By 2008 a plaza with a putting green, BBQ grill and a multi-purpose/Bocce ball court will be completed. A tennis court will be installed the final year.  Improvements will also be made to the landscaping and walkways in the front yard.  The existing swimming pool and party rooms will open onto a new terrace. 

The garden master plan is shown in the above picture.  By agreement of the homeowners, the tennis court will be repositioned on the east side of the property and the other amenities will be reversed.  The garage roof affords nearly two acres of garden in the midst of the city - a truly remarkable landscape for urban living.
