Triad commissioned Weber + Thompson of Seattle to design a project that is best suited to the nature of this unique site with its steep topography and dramatic Puget Sound views. According to Architect Blaine Weber of Weber + Thompson "This is a once-in-a-lifetime site. The inspiration for the design is based on the qualities of Italian hillside towns, with terraced and modulated buildings that nestle into their steep sites and provide a very pleasant village scale." Weber says that most of the parking is underground, affording more open space and an orientation to the pedestrian over the automobile.

This development features a tree-lined pedestrian parkway and a park-like feel to the 22.5-acre site. Up to 295 condominiums will be provided, most with water views. Sizes range from 650 sf to 2,300 sf per unit and are priced from $170,000 to $1.2 million.

Construction is planned to start in 2003, and will take 5 years to complete the four phases of the project. Triad Development is planning to apply for site plan review in early November.
