Ion on Fifth
Location: Shoreline, Washington | Units: 310 | Total sf: 369,000
Situated just a block north of the newly opened Shoreline South light rail station, Ion at Fifth epitomizes transit-oriented development by creating dense housing in a neighborhood with frequent and reliable mass transit. Consisting of 310 units across eight levels, the project also includes over 13,000 SF of amenities and 294 parking stalls with seamless access to I-5 and the Shoreline park-and-ride. The design utilizes a simple yet sophisticated color palette and modulation to break up the mass of the building and allow it to better fit within the site context which is primarily comprised of single-family homes. As one of the first multifamily projects to be built near the station since its opening, Ion at Fifth sets the standard for modern living in this burgeoning neighborhood of Shoreline anchored by frequent light rail service.
