The Madrone is sited along the majority of the frontage on both State and Water streets, and has been set back from the property lines to create a widened promenade which provides views to the Capitol Building, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. Along State Street and integrated into the façade are public art panels designed by local artist Nikki McClure, depicting a musical gathering in a madrone tree on a northwest waterfront.
The design envisions two retail spaces, a 2,000 SF restaurant and a 1,000 SF retail space, as well as space for 39 vehicles. The upper four floors have a mix of two-bedroom (16 units), one-bedroom (28 units), and studios (16 units), totaling 60 dwelling units.
