7 Harborview Drive & Pioneer Way: Harborview Village Center

7 Harborview Drive & Pioneer Way: Harborview Village Center

The proposed Village Center for Gig Harbor invites a new paradigm for the city. While both density and lack of character are legitimate concerns with any new development, the design of the buildings and relating open space features highlights the existing features of the city. Familiar characteristics are used as part of the fabric to reinvigorate and maintain the downtown core by creating memorable gateways, increasing open space area, and encouraging year-round use.
