Mountlake Terrace Gateway TOD Development
Mountlake Terrace, WA
|
In anticipation of the new LINK Light Rail station, an adjacent lot will be occupied by a 3 building mixed use development. As a TOD or transit-oriented-development, Terrace Station supports the urban village planning concept found in Seattle and many advanced cities around the world. Transit stops form nodes at which higher density residential and commercial centers are zoned. This technique encourages bicycle use, public transit and promotion of electric vehicles.

The first of three mixed-use buildings planned for this project site creates a new neighborhood just south of the Mountlake Terrace transit center which in the future will also become the northern terminus to the North Link light rail system. The three buildings will be developed around a new boulevard which will tie 236th street SW in Snohomish County to NE 205th street in King County. This building features space for an array of commercial services. Tenant improvements were executed for inbound clients such as 24 Hour Fitness and Noble Learning. A swimming pool and rooftop amenity spaces delight residents with territorial views of the mountains, sound and city.
