The proposed six-story apartment building complex known as “Ballard West” won conditional approval by the Design Review Board last night. The development is slated for the Old Ballard Library site, along 24th Ave. at 57th.
While the board liked the proposal (.pdf) for three sides of the building, the board asked that architects make some changes to the east elevation — which features ground-level retail space facing 24th Ave. Those changes will be approved by DPD without returning to the Design Review Board.
Our earlier story explains many of the architectural features, including the facility’s “green roof” and environmental-friendly design.
