The City has issued construction permits for a new 4-story mixed-use building with ground level retail and restaurant space. The proposal also includes below-grade parking, landscaped public plazas, a 20-foot wide public through-block pedestrian connection along the north side of the property and a private courtyard for tenants. Construction is expected to begin in Summer 2024.

This block is an eyesore - excited that there is another development in the works. The new design looks great.
As we are seeing on much of the west coast, housing is prohibitively expensive and the only solution is to build more. From a climate change perspective, we need more high density housing, ideally located near transportation hubs to reduce carbon emissions, and near amenities, again to reduce the need for cars.
More density in MI's town center is ideal, and this development will significantly improve it!
This is a significant improvement over a neglected hole in the middle of our TC. I do particularly like the mid-block and think it will be a magnet for activity
The development will, of course, have significant resistance from the usual detractors but I feel that our TC has been improving with each mixed-use project. I can't imagine how things would be like now without Einsteins, Qdoba, MI Martial Arts, or any of the many other businesses that now call TC home thanks to the patronage afforded by our growing population.
I'm in favor of more mixed-use development on the island that gives businesses more opportunities to come to or stay on the island as well as for more residents to contribute to our community. Happy to see that this project also includes ample parking and affordable housing.
I would love to see this corner of the Town Center developed. It’s currently an eye sore and such a waste of valuable space on MI. Glad to see there is affordable housing included and hope that there will be opportunities for the small businesses currently in the retail spaces to re-open in the new space.
This is a welcome improvement to the Town Center. It provides much needed new housing especially for downsizing families who want to stay on the island, more parking, more retail, landscape improvements and thoughtfully includes daylight planes and open space. The building design is attractive and fits into a Northwest modern aesthetic. The building height matches or is lower than others in the Town Center and makes good use of glass for light and openness. I hope the business who need to move out will have the opportunity to lease back at similar rates. Pleased to see the code requires 10% affordable housing units.
Looks great, it will be a welcome upgrade.
So big and ugly. Why can we have architecturally attractive buildings?
Looks like the new ugly buildings in Bellevue.
