New Townhouse Projects at the Seattle Home Show

Paar Development, one of our key townhouse developer clients, has a booth at the Seattle Home Show this week (Feb 16-24) showing units in our Beacon Green project.  In addition to Beacon they will have two other projects on display - Westview Townhouses and Marion Green.

Beacon Green.  View from Rooftop Deck
All of the projects are courtyard townhomes, where all the units are clustered around a central commons that provides generous open space, access to natural light, and opportunities to meet neighbors & build community among the residents.

Beacon Green.  View of Common Courtyard

Beacon Green is the first project of its kind.  Featuring a structured courtyard lid over the parking area, it is the realization of many years of work to pioneer a new approach to townhouse infill (more details here).  This six unit development on the top of Beacon Hill has views to the horizon in all directions.  The units are toward the smaller & more affordable end of the market.   Beacon features an innovative parking solution that provides some units with no parking, some units with conventional parking, and some units with a smart car garage that includes the smart car!

Westview Townhomes - Street View.

Westview Townhomes is a 4 unit development on the west side of Queen Anne overlooking Interbay.  The project steps up a sloping site and features a tree lined central courtyard that provides private decks for all of the units as well as a rain garden that manages stormwater and creates a privacy screen between the units.  Westview features larger 3 bedroom units and an advantageous site that provides regional views of the city and Elliot Bay from most levels of the units.

Marion Green - Street View

Marion Green is a project that David Neiman Architects is developing as a joint venture with Paar Development.  Like Beacon Green it features a structured courtyard lid over the parking area.  Unlike Beacon, it features 3 and 4 bedroom units with 2 car garages, targeted at buyers that might normally be looking for a detached single family home.  We'll be putting out a more detailed post on this one soon.

Paar Development's booth is 632 L 10′
