The [Link] train station is
placed in an extraordinary midpoint between downtown seattle and
seatac airport. This design provides
the urban strategy for creating
walkable development surrounding
the station. The multi-nodal network
that will emerge surrounding the
central link light rail will create
a corridor of pedestrian friendly
neighborhoods.

As one of Seattles premier north/south corridors, this design capitalizes
on the concentration of resources in the Mount Baker neighborhood. Our
initial phase emphasizes the development of second-tier parcels while
maintaining primary tenants. The emulsion of not only residential and
commercial development, but also industrial activity, puts forward a new
model of urbanism tackling the ever polemic question of the future of
american industrial sector.
