So, i wont mind the parking...plus along the roadways is markt lane and the landing tower which should be cool.

People don't need to drive... Ride the bus.

What's the difference between this and kent station?( Aside from the housing). Is there substantially more retail?

Yeah, I wish they added 3-5 extra floors of residential and office space above all that retail. That would've been sweet.

"kent station" is 18 acres......"the landing" is 68 when completely built out.....(48 acres on this first phase) and much much more retail.

Kent Station doesn't have any major big box retailers, the Landing has Target, Lowe's (not technically part of the landing, but right across the street/adjacent to Fry's).

rj2uman · September 6th, 2007, 07:48 AM

The Target store at The Landing will open in October. I just read that in the a business journal.

jiggawhat? · September 6th, 2007, 08:19 PM

yeah, it looks complete when u drive by.

jiggawhat? · September 23rd, 2007, 11:20 PM

I have been reading a lot of people's responses on "the landing" board and renton residents are not happy with the residential portion (how its not included with the retail), the large parking area (waste of good land), and some even hate the design.

rj2uman · October 12th, 2007, 07:41 AM

I guess Lowe's is having a special opening for Business customers on the 22nd. A rep came by our office today to give out coupons and tell us when the FREE LUNCH is......yum.

jiggawhat? · October 12th, 2007, 08:29 AM

that lowes looks nice. just drove through that area yesterday. Next to the target and everything. it looks good down there.

sequoias · October 12th, 2007, 10:51 AM

yeah, I saw the landings few days ago and it looks huge difference from the vacant cement sea of parking spaces with weed growing out in cracks few years ago. wow! I think it looks more lively than empty looking with frys out in middle of nowhere.

rj2uman · October 12th, 2007, 05:38 PM

^ Yeah the chamber of commerce said that it was all due to delays from the lawsuit from the Westfield group. A company from Australia if I recall correctly.

sequoias · October 12th, 2007, 08:48 PM

I didn't know that project was delayed, but at least it got built and it's gonna open soon for the first batch of retail.

***Bond James Bond*** · October 13th, 2007, 05:41 AM

I drove through The Landing today. Well it's not much yet - looks pretty much like a typical lifestyle center. But I'll pass judgment until it's done.

jiggawhat? · October 15th, 2007, 06:45 PM

target opened yesterday and it sounds like trader joes will be heading to the landing as well.

taiwanesedrummer36 · October 16th, 2007, 04:13 AM

Disregard.

NW Mike · October 18th, 2007, 04:49 PM

No there isn't,why not go get some.

***Bond James Bond*** · October 18th, 2007, 11:40 PM

There's not that much to take pictures of - yet. The Target and the part immediately around it are done, but most of the rest is still being built. Maybe by the summer it will be something worthy to look at.

taiwanesedrummer36 · October 19th, 2007, 02:07 AM

Disregard.

jiggawhat? · October 19th, 2007, 06:48 AM
