Project

A new plan for a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development at Kirkland Urban (previously Parkplace) has been approved. The project required zoning text amendments to allow additional residential (including an affordable housing requirement) and incentives for a movie theater. Amendments to the Master Plan and Design Guidelines for Kirkland Urban were also necessary (see updated Master Plan & Design Guidelines below), as well as revisions to the Planned Action Ordinance (PAO).

The proposed project will have a maximum 1,315,000 square feet. The estimated square footage for the new project includes:

  • 744,655 sq. ft. of office
  • 218,345 sq. ft. of commercial space, including 54,000 sq. ft. of grocery and 40,000 sq. ft. for a movie theatre
  • 352,000 sq. ft. of multi-family residential space (maximum 367 dwelling units).
