West Seattle development: Comment time for Upton Flats

After other proposals surfaced and stalled in recent years, the mixed-use project making its way through the city system for 35th and Graham in High Point has just hit another milestone: Official application for a land-use permit, as announced in today’s edition of the city’s Land Use Information Bulletin. This means a two-week public-comment period has opened.

(From the second Early Design Guidance meeting’s information packet)
After two Southwest Design Review Board meetings – find the reports here – the project at 6058 35th SW is now proposed as two 4-story buildings, with a total of 102 apartments, 10,000 square feet of commercial space, and an underground garage with 109 parking spaces. The notice is here; you can use this form to send in a comment – December 2nd is the deadline. Meantime, this project, currently named “Upton Flats,” still has to go back to the Design Review Board at least one more time; no date yet.

P.S. This development only covers a fraction of the sprawling vacant space at 35th/Graham, specifically the 35th SW frontage and part of the corner; the rest of the site is still planned for an 11-building, 52-unit townhouse development, under the address 3420 SW Graham, shown in the image above, to the east of the 6058 35th SW buildings.

    Most of the commercial space is marked as Office/Retail. The area desperately needs more retail.

    It’s too bad the site isn’t appropriate for a supermarket, something the area desperately needs. I live in Sunrise Heights, and the nearest grocery stores are in Morgan Junction and Westwood Village. It’s a food desert up here, and it’s even worse in Delridge and Highland Park.

    This is the only large plot left in the area, and there doesn’t seem to be any interest in making sure its development fills the needs of the community.

    LarryB – totally agree! We need another supermarket over here. A coffee shop or restaurant would also be excellent. I sure hope we don’t end up with more Pilates studios or nail salons.

Sorry, comment time is over.
