Preview the building replacing Sunset Bowl

This Monday night is the first design review meeting, but Avalon has already released its preliminary proposed designs for the apartment and retail building replacing Sunset Bowl on Market St.

This is its preferred design of the three proposals. It’s a six-story building with a center courtyard and 234 units. The building covers the entire block. The front (bottom) faces Market St. You can see Burger King to the left.

Here’s a look at the ground floor with 13,900 square feet of retail and 294 parking spots. Again, these are preliminary proposals without many details — there’s no mention of specific retailers (or a bowling alley), for example — but you get an idea of the building’s size. You can see the full deck here (.pdf). The first public design review meeting will be held Monday at 8 p.m. in the Ballard High School Library. (Thanks Marie for the link!)
