Congratulations to the 2024 ULI @hines Student Competition winners! The team at @georgiatech from left to right: Arthur Santos Miranda, Vivian Lin, Brooke Blankenship, Noah Stogner, and Grace Kunst was awarded a cash prize for their winning plan, Meander, designed to sit in Seattle’s Central Business District.

“Meander was selected due to their unique circulation concept, mid-rise building massing, and their all-in approach to mass timber construction. While mass timber is still in its early stages, the team was well-versed and researched on the subject matter, presenting an aspirational, yet achievable, project. The jury also agreed with Meander’s choices regarding buildings to adaptively reuse or demolish and their residential unit mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms. Pocket parks designed to capture stormwater were also integrated into the switchback circulation path. The project proposed a 99-year land lease with King County, a reasonable phasing plan, and a strong financial case for implementation.”
