Southport is a mixed-use development in Renton, Washington, United States. It is located on the southern shore of Lake Washington adjacent to the Renton Landing lifestyle center and the Boeing Renton Factory.

History

[edit]

Southport is a 2,400,000-square-foot (220,000 m2) mixed-use development that began in 1999, located on 32.2 acres (13.0 ha) along Lake Washington in Renton, Washington.[1][2][3] The property was formerly the site of a Puget Sound Energy steam plant which was demolished in 2001, and construction on the residential phase of Southport began later that year.[4]

By 2019, the complex included a hotel and 712,752 square feet of office space.[1][5] across three office buildings.[1] The complex also includes 30,000 square feet in retail space.[6]

Transportation

[edit]

Seco plans to run ferry routes directly between Southport and other parts of the region, including South Lake Union in Seattle.[6] The complex also includes a six-story parking garage[3] and a private yacht dock.[7]
