About this project
In Columbia City, Seattle, 5256 Rainier Ave S is a proposed 6-story mixed-use building with apartments over retail. The project required rezoning an 18,423-square-foot portion of the site from a 40-foot to a 65-foot height limit, on land in an environmentally critical area. Early design guidance (3025493-EG) put the scheme at 81 units with 7,300 square feet of retail and parking for 71 vehicles inside the structure. The Master Use Permit (3025493-LU) reduced the count to 73 units while proposing parking for 74 vehicles and demolition of the existing structures.
