Regarding their members, they may have taken a look at the demogaphics. It's not like new residents on the hill are flocking to Presbyterianism.

It's possible they're wealthy, live very close, and willing to pay for the convenience. But then why are there nearly 200 parking spaces?

Article indicates they used to be much larger...

Why is the southern portion only zoned for 160 ft? Some of these height limits are so random.

Betterthan the gravel parking currently there, but it leaves me rather...meh. Between Coppins Well and this, very bland architecture.

CrazyAboutCities · July 13th, 2012, 06:35 PM

I like it.

shotsy · July 13th, 2012, 07:35 PM

What rent? They own the property.

LCIII · July 13th, 2012, 11:32 PM

I wish they would have further developed the 3rd massing option from the original proposal but this doesn't look bad at all. I like it much more than Coppins Well.

I'm glad the First Hill Plaza is getting friends...but it's about 90' too short.
Oh well. Boylston has a ton of development potential though.

I guess that means the old Skygarden proposal is dead. No surprise, really, but Skygarden was my favorite of the Great Recession victims, so I was holding out hope.

LCIII · July 19th, 2012, 05:57 PM

Yah that's been dead.

Ruffhauser · August 21st, 2012, 06:09 PM

Does anyone know anything about this 500 Terry @ Jefferson project?

I was looking through the LUIB the other day and saw there was a plan for a 26 story residential building. I'll try to go back and catch the project number.

Some details on page 2. I'm sure they've been updated since I posted that link a while ago.

CHH opens Jefferson apartments on 12th
By JOURNAL STAFF

Capitol Hill Housing has completed The Jefferson: 40 affordable apartments and 4,500 square feet of commercial space at 12th and East Jefferson near Seattle University.

It was designed by Environmental Works of Seattle and built by MarPac Construction to meet the state's Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard. Green features include heat recovery ventilation units, high performing windows, a low energy elevator and a high efficiency gas system.

Other team members are: John Barker Landscape Architects, Swenson Say Faget, Sider & Byers Associates, Glumac International and Springline Design.

The one- and two-bedroom units are for people earning up to $36,000 for a single person or $41,000 for a two-person family. That is 60 percent of the median income.

The site had been vacant for decades and once housed a gas station. After ownership was transferred to the city, residents in the neighborhood said they would rather see housing built there than a park, so the site was awarded to Capitol Hill Housing in 2008.

Space for parking was excavated as part of cleaning up contaminated soil from the station.

Funding came from city, state and federal programs as well as KeyBank, the construction and permanent lender, and Union Bank, the low income housing tax credit investor. Impact Capital and HomeSight provided pre-development financing.

The grand opening is Friday, Oct. 19, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Yay, more housing.

mhays · October 3rd, 2012, 01:21 AM

Gotta love Capitol Hill and, I guess, the 12th Ave area. Sort of like Broadway and Pine....nearby residents saw the first idea and said let's add more housing.

I shoulda named myself Seattle. But I'm probably too dense and poorly trained for that.
