About this project
At 523 15th Ave E in Seattle's Broadway neighborhood, a 5-story apartment building with 68 units and retail is the project, with parking for 21 vehicles and existing buildings demolished. Early design guidance under 3033993-EG described the same scheme with parking for 27 vehicles, and the Master Use application was filed as 3033940-LU. Separate applications (3041794-LU and 3041795-LU) sought a lot boundary adjustment between four parcels, the second of them withdrawn.
