Ballard Yards Mixed-Use Apartments
Seattle, WA
Ballard Yards is a mixed-use development situated along Ballard’s bustling Market Street. Featuring a mix of apartments, retail, and commercial space, Ballard Yards’ design respects the character and history of its neighborhood by connecting both the commercial “High Street” frontage and the maritime industrial areas behind and along the waterfront. The building massing and material choices reflect this via a building frontage that pulls in character elements from the commercial brick buildings in the adjacent neighborhood center, and via the building’s south elevation that reflects the maritime culture and water it faces.
By setting back the east and west building facades where possible, the building is poised for redevelopment in the future – further preparing for connections to Ballard’s neighborhood growth. With seven floors totaling 171 apartments and 6500+ SF of retail and commercial space, Ballard Yards utilizes the full development potential of the site while providing much-needed housing, services and commercial uses to this burgeoning community.
