Overview (Narrative Excerpt from Original Project Submission):

Our mixed-use development is more than a project, it goes “beyond boundaries.” Embracing inclusive innovation, Beyond Boundaries is where everyone can reach their full potential. The site is well situated in Seattle, near the tech industry, a growing health sector, the waterfront, public transit, and a melting pot of cultures. Throughout Seattle’s history, waves of immigration have shaped the city’s landscape. The persistent challenge faced by the community has not only been to meet the demand for housing but also to ensure equal access to opportunities for all residents. Unfortunately, soaring housing prices, homelessness, limited access to education and employment, and healthcare disparities hit hardest on those groups that have been marginalized. Beyond Boundaries transforms this portion of Pioneer Square away from an island of at-times discriminatory institutions into a nexus of social, racial, environmental, and economic equity built on community, health, and innovation.
