Book excerpt: At a time of breakneck development in Seattle, mixed-use developments are seen as a way to provide increased housing options for the city’s newcomers, concentrate and strengthen existing commercial corridors, and protect surrounding historic single-family development. However, while planning theory suggests that ground-floor retail in mixed-use developments plays a crucial role activating neighborhood public spaces, in practice, retail vacancies in newly-built developments are dragging down Seattle’s commercial districts and contributing to public unease over the pace and nature of development. The study below evaluates eight separate mixed-use developments, completed between 2007 and 2017, for characteristics contributing to either occupancy or vacancy on their ground floors. The findings indicate that retail vacancy results from an imbalance in the incentives between the City, the developer, and the business community. These three actors, together the three main stakeholders in mixed-use retail development, each pull on the building process in different ways and must cooperate if new properties are to be successful.

Download or read book Exploring the Impact of Mixed income mixed use Redevelopments in Building Community Cohesion at Seattle s Yesler Terrace written by Jonathan Joseph and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you build community? Is it the building, services, and amenities that we build into communities? Or is it the people, who use buildings, services, and amenities in communities to have experienced, and build relationships with one another. Mixed-income/mixed-use communities play a unique role in providing housing and amenities to a variety of individuals, and potentially fostering a sense of community cohesion. Yesler Terrace, a new mixed-income/mixed-use community in development, created a timely opportunity to characterize the current level and features of community cohesion in preliminary stages of redevelopment at this site. Community cohesion and neighborhood harmony can affect the health of individuals and the community as a whole. This evaluation was completed in three parts: site observations and analysis; focus groups conducted with Seattle Housing Authority residents; and one-on-one interviews conducted with market- rate residents living at the Batik building. Results reveal that SHA and market-rate residents enjoy the new spaces but yearn for more interaction within the community. SHA residents reported little connection with the perceived wealthier market-rate community. Market-rate residents wanted to engage with SHA residents but didn't want to seem like they are taking over the community. Both communities primarily used their local spaces and did not share communal areas as often as they would like. All Yesler Terrace resident saw an opportunity to foster space that builds organic relationships. There is limited, but generally supportive evidence of overall community cohesion at this early stage of redevelopment at Yesler Terrace, plus promising expressions of a desire for greater cohesion. SHA can explore at different procedural, conceptual and methodological recommendations to deepen the agencies understanding of cohesion at Yesler Terrace. Partnering with market-rate leaders, SHA can implement changes that will foster an environment open to all residents. For example, lobbies across the community can be activated and used as community spaces, welcoming to all in the community. SHA can discover its evolving role in building community at Yesler Terrace.

Download or read book Lake Union written by Marques Vickers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Marques Vickers has captured over 160 stunning images from thirty-five commercial development projects that shape the nucleus of Seattle's downtown Lake Union district. "Lake Union: The Public Face of Prosperity" is the initial volume in the Vertical Seattle series intended to document the city's dynamic skyline growth. The heightening of the downtown Seattle skyline mirrors the prosperity and expansion of the business core. This change in complexion is most evident along the shoreline of Lake Union, a freshwater passage contained entirely within Seattle's city limits. Lake Union was originally formed by the melting of the Vashon Glacier waters and officially named by Seattle pioneer Thomas Mercer in 1854. Mercer correctly forecasted that with effective damming and canals, the eventual union of Lake Washington and Puget Sound could be completed. The Duwamish and Chinook native tribes called the body small waters. The Boeing Corporation initiated production facilities in 1916. The shoreline for decades remained principally shipyards, wharfs, sawmills and diminutive restaurant and retail outlets. The high technology industry has completely altered the commercials emphasis. The chronic Seattle housing shortage has accentuated a similar boom for elevated residential properties. Staggering glass monoliths have continued to proliferate amongst the welcoming neighborhoods of South Lake Union and periphery sections on the eastern and western shores. Proponents of contemporary progress have welcomed the expansion of mixed-use commercial office, retail, hotel accommodations and permanent living spaces. Assuming that the ambitious pace continues, South Lake Union will consolidate its gateway status towards the historic downtown core. In the process, the construction is eliminating generations of low-rise buildings and structural eyesores of modest or no local architectural significance. The rapid progression has prompted criticism based on the accompanying traffic congestion, skyrocketing leases and parking scarcity. Light rail programs may alleviate some of these concerns. Many critics have cited that the city of Seattle was never intended nor proactively planned to become a major urban center. The infrastructure to accommodate its growth is being installed on a catch-up basis. The argument may be valid, but the city planners of Seattle appear fully committed towards growth and elevated expansion. Activist demands for restraint and moderation are generally muffled amidst the momentum of increasing space demands, public hearings, zoning variances, demolition and construction. The nature of aggressive growth does not historically pause. The Lake Union shoreline has become forever changed. Most of the completed high-rise buildings featured in this edition are less than ten years old. Numerous more are anticipated and currently in diverse stages of planning and completion. This edition's images visually portray the changes in the present tense. Clearly, however, downtown Seattle's future is oriented towards an increasing vertical expansion.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 22 (thesis year 1977) a total of 10,658 theses titles from 28 Canadian and 227 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 22 reports theses submitted in 1977, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
