Across the street from the Metropolitan Market is a large hole with fencing around it.  If you are wondering what is going on, ask the architects on the project Tiscareno Associates, known for designing mixed-use projects around the Puget Sound.  The Queen Anne project, dubbed the Sweet Briar will house 39 living units covering one 13,000 sq. yard block.

According to the architects, the design goal of this urban infill project was to integrate high quality retail that maximizes street level traffic with residential buildings that maximize views.
