Pacific Marketplace: The design, meant to evoke the Pike Place Market, includes homey touches such as street-like passageways, umbrella tables and wooden benches. Art deco architectural detailing recalls the original terminal, built in 1949.
Window wall: The cable-suspended glass wall includes 449 panes and 1.1 miles of cable. At 60 feet tall and 350 feet wide, the bi-directionally curved window may be the largest of its kind in North America.
Tenants: The 20 shopping and retail outlets range from newsstands to full-service restaurants. Their spaces were built by 13 architecture and engineering firms, 10 general contractors and 36 subs.
