At the city Design Commission this week, architect Dave Otte presented an update on the Glisan Commons project, a mixed-use project that is going into the Gateway neighborhood at Northeast 99th Avenue and Glisan Street. The project is a partnership between four organizations: s, , and . The project will include office space, apartments and parking in two buildings, and it will be built in two phases.

In phase one, the project will have 67 units of workforce housing developed by Human Solutions and offices for Ride Connection, which provides van transportation and transit education for seniors and people with disabilities. Phase two will include 60 units of housing for seniors, developed by REACH. In between the two buildings will be a large courtyard/plaza which will hold vans and busses for Ride Connection, but which can also be cleared for weekend events.

Holst Architecture is currently performing the master plan for the entire project and design for phase one.

At the Design Commission on Thursday, the project was presented for a 鈥渄esign advice request鈥� hearing. Otte presented renderings of the phase one building and showed a building with two types of material on the siding: a Hardie plank siding material and metal panels that combine in a puzzle-piece fashion. Bedroom windows for the apartment units, which come out onto the metal panel material, are smaller than living room windows, which come through onto the plank. Design commissioners recommended that Holst make the bedroom windows larger.
