Modera South Jackson

A steep slope site on the edges of Downtown, Little Saigon, and Yesler, combined with the goal of connecting a new building within the context of the International District, presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

The mixed-use podium building – stepping from 7 to 11-stories - will feature 397 apartment homes with structured parking, two rooftop decks with stunning views, premium amenities and street-level retail. In response to the slope, the building massing steps down with the grade, better integrating the building with the site. The design aspires to deeply root the project in the unique neighborhood of Little Saigon and contribute to its success as a destination to live, shop and, of course, eat!

The visibility of Modera South Jackson will elevate awareness of this inviting connection to Little Saigon, while the grounds will complement the staircase, with carefully chosen plantings. This enhanced connectivity between the project and neighborhood is expected to further revitalize the Little Saigon business community.
