Southcenter Plan Book 1: Community Intent <br />The Natural Waterfront <br />The eastern, western, and southern edges of the pond will be characterized by a more natural park <br />environment, preserving habitat for pond wildlife. A "necklace" of pedestrian paths, floating <br />boardwalks and sidewalks will connect the edges of the pond. Tukwila Pond Park will provide <br />benches, overlooks, shade trees and informal landscaping. Buildings will be separated from the <br />pond by streets along the eastern and southern edges. Building heights will be lower along the <br />southern edge to insure plenty of sunlight for the Pond itself; buildings will also step down toward <br />the water to preserve views as well as a park -like character. Ground floors will range from office to <br />support services, retail, and lunch options for workers, to newer housing types like live -work on the <br />ground floor, with more private uses like office and residential above (Photos 12, 13, 14). <br />Envisioned mixed -use development facing south end of Tukwila Pond <br />12. <br />14. <br />13. <br />W: \Long Range Projects \Southcenter Plan \Plan 2011 \Book 1 \FINAL Book 1_12.7.2011_PC.docx Page 17 <br />12/7/2011 <br />21 <br />
