Several new construction projects are underway and several <br />more are being planned for both commercial and residential uses. Commercial projects <br />create additional jobs. <br />A short summary of some of the development that is expected in Tukwila was provided <br />by the City Administrator. The information provided is listed below: <br />Central Business District Buildout — impacting all the area south of the new <br />Station 51 (up to 8 million square feet of commercial space and approximately <br />2,000 housing units. <br />Southcenter Area — near the current 19 -story building, there will be more <br />housing. Specifically, 500 residential units planned in just the 19 -story and a <br />five -story building in front of it. There will also be more growth in hotel rooms, <br />probably at least another 500 to 1,000 units. This would impact the service area <br />for a newly located Station 52 and the north service of station 51. <br />• Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) — near station 54, there will be more multi- <br />family units, probably another 1,000 units, including Tukwila Village and other <br />possible developments centered around S. 144th and TIB. <br />In a May 2012 traffic study report, City of Tukwila: Background Report for the <br />Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan Update Transportation Analysis and <br />2030 Improvements Recommendations, prepared by the firm Fehr & Peers, Chapter 3 <br />describes assumed changes in land patterns and in the transportation network that are <br />expected between 2012 and 2030. In the report, land use forecasts for 2030 are <br />provided by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and are based on regional <br />population and employment growth forecasts.
