My only issue with these developments is their large footprints. Having a variety of scales only gets you so far. These buildings live and die as single buildings. Future redevelopment will be saddled with the decisions made today; i.e. the buildings that eventually replace these will likely have just as large a footprint, will require comparable financial backing and will only be built by developers large enough to take on a project of this magnitude.

yech, the one on the left is interesting. too bad the facade is a blatant rip-off of 2 european projects. only, the euro projects are made of really well done concrete and brick and have more open spaces.

where or where is the originality w/ architects in this city? pathetic.

The New Holly Branch of Seattle Public Library is on 32nd Ave S about half a mile up the hill. I love the convenient access to the city that light rail provides, but it's also important to have a full-service walkable neighborhood. Cascadian already noted Othello Park to the east, and I hope that the area will fill in with a variety of businesses. According to Walkscore the only major things missing today are a bookstore and hardware!

I think this is great.

Right now, MLK is basically a light rail line running between parking lots. A few homes, a few stores, a couple great neighborhood institutions, even, but mostly it’s decayed strip malls. Given how f-ed up MLK is, I really don’t think scale and visual diversity are very big concerns yet. What the area needs most is people, lots and lots of new neighbors. Development momentum. Eyes on the street. A set of communities that feel like they’re actually beginning to thrive.

Put another 25 developments like these in, and we’ll be at a point where we can start debating the niceties… ;)
