Two 1901-built single family-style 11th Ave E homes just a few blocks off Broadway will make way for a new eight-story, 72-unit apartment building. The project faces its first design review this week.
The development from Coho Collaborative and sister company Cascade Built will cleave to Passive House certification requirements and is being planned under the city’s Priority Green Expedited program which requires Low VOC materials, building products with no added urea formaldehyde, and “measures which will enhance the health and comfort of the building occupants.” The “administrative” review of the building also means no meeting sessions will be held but public comment can still be provided to planners considering the early design proposal.

Designed by architects at Holst, the project will create an eight-story building with around 70 units in “a mix of one bedroom, studio, and Small Efficiency Dwelling Units.”
“Amenity spaces are provided in the form of a street-facing lobby and lounge area and a roof deck with views to downtown and the Olympic Mountains,” the developers write. “The preferred design concept also provides an indoor amenity space for residents on the 8th floor with an adjoining second roof deck and connection to the upper roof deck.”
No vehicle parking is planned but developers are asking for permission to move space for planned bike parking into the individual units. “Bicycle storage rooms are often under-utilized over concerns of personal safety and security of property; storage of bicycles inside units is a way to alleviate those concerns while still encouraging the use of alternate transportation methods,” the developers write.
The project will replace two 1901-built houses in an area zoned for midrise apartment buildings only blocks from Broadway and Capitol Hill Station and neighbor a remaining single family-style home and the 19006-built Sherbook Apartments. 11th Ave E is a busy center of activity with current development including a new affordable condo project from Habitat for Humanity.
