The Seattle Department of Planning and Development (DPD) director has issued a decision on the project at 2721 17th Avenue South (the southeast corner of the Beacon Hill Station block), approving the project’s design as based on the final recommendation of the Southeast Design Review Board, with certain conditions. The conditions include designing additional lighting for the sidewalk along South McClellan Street, improved treatment of the ground-level residential units to increase privacy and reduce light pollution, and specifications for the artwork along the alley façade.
Previous conditions already met include designing the top floor along 17th to be set back 10 feet from the property line, and a revised lighting plan for additional lighting.
They should be required to come up with a better name for this project too. NoBe is just weak. Is that really what they are calling it?
Yeah, I’m hoping/presuming that “NoBe” is some sort of lorem ipsum placeholder. Because NoBe seems like a NoGo.
(See what I did there? Tricky!)
Any word on when this development will move forward?
Yeah, notice it also says BeHi on the signs… I think they are both placeholder names.
Brett, I don’t know yet. The DPD decision said they still have to make some small changes before the MUP goes through.
