South Park Plaza
Review Status
On November 18, 2021 we reviewed the design development design phase (90%) for the South Park Plaza project. At this meeting we approved, five to one, the design development with one condition and several recommendations. We will not review the project again unless there are significant changes to what was proposed.
Project Description
The project is one of 14 land banked site purchased by Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) to provide access to additional open space within higher density, urban areas. The .83 acre project site is located west of the South Park Bridge, between S Orr St and Dallas Ave S in the South Park Neighborhood. The project site is also located near the Duwamish waterway, providing views from multiple areas on site. The proposed design concept will include programming such as open gathering space, activity space, vending areas, and art. The proposed project has a budget of $2,083,725 for planning, design, and construction.

When you attend a SDC meeting, we provide a time for members of the public to comment. We ask people to sign up when they attend a meeting - we use a sign in sheet to keep track of attendance and to see who wants to speak. We also use this sheet to send notice of future meetings on the project you came to follow. We generally limit comments to two minutes per person. When there are larger groups of people who want to speak on the same topic, we ask that the group appoint a spokesperson to speak for the group. We give groups up to five minutes for public comment. It is helpful to also submit your comment prior to the SDC meeting. This will allow more time for the commission to consider your comment. See below for more information.
Do you want to submit a written comment? Submit your written comments by emailing: SDC_Administration@seattle.gov; Please be sure to include the name of the project in the subject line. Please submit your comments prior to the day of the project review. This will allow more time for the commission to consider your comment.
