145 residential unit building planned for Lake City Way.
In today’s list of DPD application announcements, one that caught my eye was for a
Land Use Application to allow a six-story building containing 4,000 sq. ft. of retail at ground level and 145 residential units above in an environmentally critical area. Parking for 167 vehicles to be provided in a below-grade garage. Project includes 21,900 cu. yds. of grading. Existing 14,500 sq. ft. commercial structure to remain.
This building will be situated above a trailer park and single family homes to the East. The application doesn’t make it clear whether these will be condos or apartments, but this part of Lake City Way near Maple Leaf is really changing from used car dealerships and smaller one-story business to 4-6 story multi-family housing. As someone who commutes down Lake City Way to work, hopefully the city will require some investment in mass transit infrastructure improvements here. It also will be interesting to see what the neighbors think of this project.

I’m guessing this is behind the Chinese restaurant. I think any new residental development along this corridor would be a big improvement from the storage unit and Bill Piere car dealerships. How did that guy come to own ALL of Lake City Way?
Yes, this would be right behind the Chinese restaurant. It should be interesting that this new building is going to provide lots of views of the trailer park below.
