A 6-story, 90-unit apartment building with retail is proposed at 5253 University Way NE in Seattle's University Heights, mixing 34 apartments with 56 small efficiency dwelling units and no parking; existing buildings are to be demolished. The scheme went through early design guidance under 3033334-EG and was approved in a Master Use Permit (3033135-LU).
