Will this be Seattle’s greenest address?

Below are images of Northgate’s Thornton Place (being constructed by Lorig)- it’s scheduled to be completed this year and is located just south of Northgate Mall.

On this space used to be acres of parking which never seemed to ever fill up with cars - but instead would play host to various RV sales, car electronics blow outs, and traveling carnivals.

But soon it will be a southern extension to Northgate Mall and home to many new homes including; 143 retirement residences, 109 condos, and 278 apartments.

It’s being touted as Seattle’s greenest address? And even though I think Squirrelman’s old house may have given that claim a run for it’s money, it’s way greener than anything being built by the mall’s UVillage competitor.
