Pike Place Market MarketFront Entrance
Connecting to the historic Pike Place Market, the four-story Waterfront Entrance addition provides locals and tourists alike an enhanced public and artisan retail space, restaurants, a pavilion, and a 300-stall garage. Additionally, the project incorporates needed community resources for Seattle’s core downtown, such as a community center and low-income housing. The challenging site required the design team to navigate a steep hillside and bridge a train tunnel directly below. Civil efforts for this complex site included a Life Cycle Cost Analysis of sustainable infrastructure to the maximum extent feasible and a conceptual study of the earth retention systems.
