West Seattle development: Updates for 4220 SW 100th, 4754 Fauntleroy Way

Two West Seattle development updates today:

UPDATE FOR 4220 SW 100TH LIVE-WORK UNITS: Back in April, we brought you first word of an early-stage proposal for nine live-work units at 4220 SW 100th in Arbor Heights, replacing a church building. The project is advancing, now with a land-use permit application number – #3025192 – and a notation that it will have to go through Design Review. Watch for a formal application notice in an upcoming Land Use Information Bulletin. The newest “site plan” still shows the same basic configuration as the one filed in April – three units fronting on California SW, six on SW 100th, with nine surface parking spaces on the north side of the 8,100-square-foot site, which is zoned for commercial/residential up to three stories.

SPEAKING OF DESIGN REVIEW – MEETING SET FOR 4754 FAUNTLEROY: We’ve reported twice since December on the mixed-use project planned for what had been the site of the Capitol Loans pawn shop (which closed two months ago). Its first session with the Southwest Design Review Board is set for what’s now the second half of a doubleheader on August 4th, and its configuration has changed again: Now it’s proposed as a “126,500 sq. ft., 7-story mixed-use building containing 108 residential units and 10 live/work units. Parking to be provided for 88 vehicles below grade.” The architecture firm has changed, too; it’s now Mithun. This project is set for the 8 pm slot on August 4th, following (as reported here last month) the review for 5458 California SW.

    On a related note, my wife was just at PCC, where one of the employees told her there was to be an all-employee meeting to provide a status update on the future of their Admiral store. I noticed the proposed redevelopment sign outside the store when I walked by on Sunday. I wonder how fast this might happen.

      We’ve been covering the redevelopment plans. The project has to go through Design Review so construction is likely at least a year away. Only question is whether PCC is the tenant or not.

    Mithun taking over this project is quite significant.

    Few West Seattle projects employ such highly regarded design firms.   I look forward to seeing their plans.

    And hope they are not destroyed or highly compromised by Design Review.

Sorry, comment time is over.
