Aljoya Thornton Place — Seattle, WA
Aljoya Thornton Place is part of the transformation of an auto-centric shopping district into a vibrant, livable, more pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. This is the sister facility to Era Living’s Aljoya Mercer Island also designed by Weber Thompson. Thornton Place, recognized as Seattle’s first transit-oriented development, brings new vitality to the Northgate area — and new life to one of Seattle's most vital watersheds. This innovative partnership includes development of a sustainably designed mixed-use urban village, and a water quality channel that simulates Thornton Creek.
The eight-story building is a 143-unit innovative residential community for seniors looking for sophisticated living with a wealth of services paired with amenities not found in traditional retirement communities. Varied spacious floor plans, from one bedroom apartments to penthouses, will be available to meet many different needs.
Aljoya Thornton Place (Northgate) reduced the parking to less than half of the basic code requirement – encouraging use of public transit
