Community Roof Deck, Your Top Yard at The Great Northern Block
Enjoy the great outdoors, rooftop style, at The Great Northern Block. Our roof deck covers over 5,000 square feet of community space, designed to accommodate dinners for two, drinks with a few friends, and parties of up to 50 guests. Visitors can arrive through the condominium units or by simply rolling up three levels of the parking ramp (free evenings and weekends) right to our garden gate. (truthfully, it’s a metal door separating the gray of parking garage from the colors of the Top Yard)

The Club House, accessible via interior stairs from every unit or via the parking ramp, features a complete kitchen and bar for preparing and entertaining. Huge sliding doors open this space up to the primary deck area, which accommodates 50 but can also be divided for use by two or three smaller groups.
Step off the main deck onto the rubber pavers to stroll around to several smaller spaces, featuring grills and/or fire pits. Check out the tiki bar and rail seating that overlooks Broadway and Great Northern Park. Each space offers a distinct stereo system and market lights.
If you're into gardening, the Top Yard offers several box gardens (over 300 square feet in total). Irrigation and plenty of sun will provide a bumper crop of peppers and tomatoes that you won't need to share with bunnies. Maybe you’re more sporting; a turf court for bocce ball, corn hole, and croquet await. Later, when darkness falls, your friends can gather on the turf for movie night, projected on the adjacent parking-ramp wall.
The Top Yard at The Great Northern Block expands the space of every condominium unit and offers a variety of ways to meet your friends and neighbors.
