Poject Details

This 260,000-square-foot, mixed-use complex anchors the southern terminus of Seattle’s historic and popular Pike Place Market. Composed of three distinct yet functionally connected buildings, the complex is designed to reinforce the diversity and scale of the district. Its tallest component, a 12-story, 59-unit luxury residential tower, defines the southern edge of the district. The two other elements are the Market Gardens, a 60-unit elderly and low-income studio apartment building, and the Newport, a 20-unit apartment building. An organic pattern of interior streets and passages link this new complex with the established, idiosyncratic urban milieu of the Market, First Avenue and Post Alley.
