Surabaya is one of the cities in East Java Province which continues to encourage the acceleration of infrastructure development in various regions. However, Surabaya also experienced an increase in the rate of population growth. One of the major impacts that occurred was that the empty land for green open spaces in Surabaya was getting narrower. The commercial area is an area that accommodates various commercial functions, which have the aim of designing a building that brings benefits to the owner and its users. Commercial buildings in the city of Surabaya are growing in tandem with the increase in educational and trading activities. When the COVID-19 pandemic entered Indonesia, all community activities simultaneously stopped. This has an impact on the mental health of Indonesian citizens because they have to adapt to a new chain of activities. This study aims to find a solution to the speculation “How to present open green space in the midst of the density of Surabaya?” and “What kind of impact will it have on the Tunjungan Plaza superblock area, if there is open green space in the area?”. So that the designer planned the development of a mixed-used building that was presented in the central area of ​​Surabaya, precisely in the Tunjungan area, aiming to meet the healing needs of the residents of Surabaya and adjust the application of the Community Green Space concept in the design of public buildings in the midst of the urban density of Surabaya.
