MarketFront, the $74 million addition to Pike Place Market, won a 2018 American Architecture Award for urban planning and landscape architecture.

The Miller Hull Partnership designed it and Berger Partnership was the landscape architect.

The award was one of several from Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, honoring buildings and landscape projects by American architects.

MarketFront is the first addition to Pike Place Market in over 40 years, Miller Hull said in a press release. The expansion is south of Victor Steinbrueck Park, on the site of the Municipal Market, which was torn down in 1974 after a fire and replaced with a parking lot.

MarketFront was completed in 2017. It includes low-income apartments, commercial/retail space, vendor day stalls, office space and underground parking. A walkway will eventually connect it with the waterfront.

Pike Place Market PDA is the owner.

The team included Sellen Construction, general contractor; Shiels Obletz Johnsen, project manager; Magnusson Klemencic Associates, structural and civil engineer; Arup, MEP engineer; and Beacon Development Group, housing consultant.

There were 340 submissions for the awards. Here are all the winners: https://tinyurl.com/y96s2lxh/.
