this building is a good example of failed architecture. a few years after construction, they still have vacancies in the ground floor retail/commercial. kids dentistry, woo hoo. there is a lack of hugely wide doors that would open this building's great location to green lake. there is a great attempt at outdoor seating going on right now; it's illegal as they don't have the mandatory fencing; expect the city to shut it down soon. the turnpike pizza is a misfit for this neighborhood -- who'd pick a "highway" motif? and it barely has a sign you can see. and, the buildign doesn't have lots of comemrcial signs so no one knows what those businesses are there. They also don't have any parking in front the way starbucks does so that's also a space killer. it's slightly incredible this location next to a park where 10,000 a day can walk on a summer weekend day and across from the highest volume starbucks in north seattle has such semi vacant stores .... I mean really, a generic pizza joint? meanwhile the view corridors through this buliding don't give you views, they should have had a design where that open space was appended to the corners to open up the public spaces on the streets and create miniplazas the way oh about every sucessful city around the world has done it for centuries, but no, our design review commission likes view corridors creating vacant canyons THROUGH the building that no one uses to hand out in. it's a generic bread loaf. businesses that rely on appointments, like dentistry and tanning salons and chiro, do not a vibrant streetscape make. imagine the spanish steps with blank smokey doors leading to dentistry offices and chiro and you'll see what I mean.
