Inland Group plans 330 affordable units in Rainier Beach
By BRIAN MILLER
Journal Staff Reporter
For a site it doesn't yet own, at 9400 Rainier Ave. S., Inland Group of Spokane is proposing a 330-unit affordable housing complex. The project, now called Polaris at Rainier Beach, has its first administrative design review on Friday, March 8.
The 2-acre site, long owned by a family group, is now occupied by Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant. It's about a 20-minute walk east from Rainier Beach Station.
Inland writes of the project, “Polaris at Rainier Beach is a proposed high-impact, large-scale affordable housing development that will help mitigate Seattle's continuing affordable housing crisis.”
Inland says it hopes to break ground in August, with completion in late 2021.
The plan by Olson Projects, also of Spokane, assumes an upzone to 55 feet. The preferred design for the five-story building would essentially break up the building mass into three blocks, each with a central courtyard.
Units would run from studios to three-bedrooms. They would have range from around 427 to 1,129 square feet.
The project would have three courtyards, and be a block from the Safeway.

On the Block: Here's how to build affordable housing on a brownfield site in Rainier Valley
Three years ago, Mt. Baker Housing Association paid about $2.8 million for two corner sites on the north and south sides of South McClellan Street, where it intersects with Martin Luther King Jr. Way South.
The nonprofit is planning a $56 million project there. It was previously called Mt. Baker Gateway, and now is called The Maddux.
The larger Maddux North site, at 2802 S. McClellan St., has soil contamination from a dry cleaner. The smaller Maddux South site, at 2800 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, has soil contamination from a former gas station and auto repair shop.
Thanks to the state Department of Ecology, the costly site cleanup — now underway — is being substantially underwritten with public funds. According to MBH and Ecology, the state has thus far provided about $6.6 million above the overall project budget.
The cleanup is the first partnership of its kind between Ecology and MBH, in what the state calls its Healthy Housing Remediation Program.
The two sites are being cleaned up under the state's Healthy Housing Remediation Program. Mt. Baker Housing hopes to start construction in 2020.
The Maddux will have 166 affordable units in two buildings on either side of South McClellan Street.

39 units planned near Mount Baker Station
By JOURNAL STAFF
Seattle firm JW Architects is designing a 39-unit mixed-use project for a corner lot at 1900 23rd Ave. S. at the north end of Rainier Valley. The cross streets are 23rd Avenue South and South Holgate Street.
The building would have a three-story podium tucked into the sloped site. Upper levels would be set back, particularly along Holgate. Parts of the west face may angle to mimic neighboring power lines.
The site is a block west of Rainier Avenue South, not far from the Mount Baker light rail station.
City planners noted in a December early design report that the neighborhood is undergoing rapid changes with the redevelopment of older homes and the purchasing of newer homes by younger buyers who like the proximity to light rail.
A second light rail station will open just blocks away at 23rd Avenue South and Interstate 90 when the East Link extension opens in 2023.
The eight-story building would have 39 units and a street-level commercial space in Seattle’s Atlantic neighborhood.

New $122M VA building houses research, mental health treatment
By JOURNAL STAFF
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs held a grand opening last week for its $121.6 million mental health and research building its Beacon Hill medical campus.
VA Puget Sound provides care to more than 110,000 veterans across its nine facilities in the Pacific Northwest. It also has the fifth-largest research program in the VA system.
The building will also be home to a prosthetic lab with motion analysis, custom fabrication and fitting capabilities so patients can be fitted and receive their prostheses in one location.
Other research topics will include PTSD and head injuries from blasts, Alzheimer's disease, genomics, oncology and substance abuse.
The VA's Beacon Hill campus dates back to 1951, when it first opened on a 44-acre site that had been a part of Jefferson Park.
VA Puget Sound opened the 220,000-square-foot building on its Beacon Hill campus to patients on Monday.

Wood Partners acquires 242-apartment Columbia City project for nearly $17M
By BRIAN MILLER
Real Estate Editor
As planned, a venture led by Lake Union Partners has sold a fully entitled mixed-use project and land in Columbia City, at 4716 Rainier Ave. S., for almost $16.7 million.
The irregular 1.7-acre site occupies most of the southeast corner at Rainier and South Alaska Street. It's now occupied by a small apartment building, a post office and some retail, which will be removed.
The plan, by Johnston Architects, is for a five- to seven-story building on the sloping site with 242 apartments. Some combination of retail, commercial and office space will total 26,100 square feet. Three levels of underground and structured parking will have 245 stalls for both shoppers and residents. Total project size, including the parking, is about 342,000 square feet. The project received its final permit, for construction, earlier this month.
