Thornton Place is a 6 acre mixed use development in Northgate just south of Northgate Mall. The project, called an urban village by the Developer, includes retail space, a multi-screen movie theater, apartments, senior living apartments, and condominiums.
As for the condos, there will be 109 of them with studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom floor plans. Most of the condos will face the new water channel and be close to the green space planned for the site.
An important feature of this redevelopment is the water channel. The city of Seattle is heading this portion of the project and according to the Seattle.gov website the city intends to use "natural drainage system technology to to clean the water, slow it down and let water flow through the channel year-round. The design will also include native landscaping and pedestrian pathways that provide access throughout the site with connections to the mixed-use development. The channel design will divert stormwater from the drainage pipe under the site to a series of surface swales (or small ponds) landscaped with special soils and native plants. These swales slow down the water, allow it to seep into the soil, and remove pollution before the water reaches the creek."
