About this project
At 1544 NW 52nd St in Ballard, Seattle, the proposal is an 8-story apartment building with 67 homes in total — 59 small efficiency dwelling units, 8 apartments, and 1 efficiency dwelling unit — with no parking and demolition of the existing building. Early design guidance (3034338-EG) considered a 7-story scheme with 65 small efficiency units before the Master Use Permit (3034315-LU) was issued for the taller 67-unit version. A separate Master Use application (3033885-LU) covers a short subdivision of the site into 8 unit lots.
