Walk with us. Imagine a luxury apartment building with a market-hall approach. Grabbing a Seattle Sorbet or a Boon Boona Coffee on the street level.

Slated for completion by the end of 2027, this eight-story mixed-income housing development will offer 125 to 130 homes, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedroom apartments. True to our values, we’re dedicating a significant portion of the units to affordable housing, ensuring that longtime residents can continue to call this vibrant neighborhood home.
