Plans have been unveiled for a new public plaza in downtown Seattle, built in conjunction with the construction of a high rise office and residential tower and street level retail complex.

The developer "also would build a public civic plaza on the southern portion of the site, adjoining James Street, and would construct underground parking and about 36,000 square feet of retail space."

"The developer would own the garage and tower, and the city would own the plaza and retail space. At its option, the city could form a non-profit organization to own or operate the plaza."

"The plaza will feature a stage, sound system and sliding glass doors for shows and art exhibits. Indoor gathering places will let people linger even if it's raining."

"The entire project is set for completion in late 2010."
