The neighborhood is a mix of older warehouse/manufacturing buildings in the commercial zone, and single family house with large lots in the residential zone. The site is closed to restaurants and business on Lake City Way as well as within easy access to major arterial providing access to downtown, the University District and other areas of the city. This development will provide affordable housing in a quiet neighborhood. It will also serve as an attractive buffer to the ugly manufacturing concerns that border the neighborhood.
The development will create four townhomes, two with onsite parking. The street facing unit will provide street trees and a pedestrian sidewalk. The rooftops of all units will provide amenity space with rooftop gardens. All walkways and driveways will have permeable pavement. The site is close to restaurants and business on Lake City Way as well as within easy access to major arterials providing access to downtown, the University District and other areas of the city. Parking requirements have been reduced by 50% through our detailed transit study.
