The proposed first three phases would be developed as follows: Phase I – Towers 1 and 2 with the garage podium (July 2023 – July 2027), Phase II – Towers 3 and 4 with garage podium (July 2027 – July 2031), and Phase III – Tower 5 (post July 2031). Phases 1-3 would start on the south side of the site (closer to Boeing) and would develop to the north side of the lot (closer to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park). A fourth and final phase is being considered for a sixth tower with 130,000 square feet for office and retail at the south corner of the development near the intersection of Park Ave N and 757th Ave NE. The phased development could reach as high as 1.6 million gross square feet. The proposed nine-level development would be built at the same height and scale as the existing Southport offices with an overall height of approximately 154 feet above average grade. Parking for 2,207 vehicles would be provided in a shared 4- and 5-level parking garage and 57 spaces are proposed as on-street parking.

Vehicular access to Southport West would be provided by Park Ave N, Lake Washington Blvd N, and the addition of an internal center road and frontage road. The site is generally level and consists of gravel yard and asphalt, a Puget Sound Energy switchgear, and an office/warehouse building. The site contains high seismic hazard areas and the northeast corner of the site contains Johns Creek and regulated slopes. The soil consists of a loose to medium dense sand, underlain by soft to medium dense silt, then medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and clay, and finally dense to very dense silty sand. Groundwater was observed in the historical exploration at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10 feet below existing grade. Preliminary estimates of cut and fill include approximately 25,000 cubic yards of excavation and 39,200 cubic yards of fill from an approved source. The depth of excavation is anticipated to not exceed approximately two feet (2’) below ground level, except for building cores where excavation would be deeper. Stormwater runoff from pollution generating surfaces would be captured by catch basins and treated in cartridge filter facilities prior to connection into three (3) existing drainage systems. No significant trees are proposed to be removed. Southport is proposing to plant 115 new trees along with a variety of shrubs and perennials.
