Northgate is growing denser, with more people living within reach of transit. Northgate Urban Village makes room for that growth by bringing housing, commercial uses, and public space into a framework that can change as the district develops. Greater density is paired with more ways to move through the site on foot and connect to the surrounding neighborhood. The masterplan sets the structure now while leaving room for what comes next.
