FOLLOWUP: Aegis Living expects 4700 Admiral Way demolition within weeks

Thanks for the tips about the construction-office trailer arriving on the west side of the site of the future Aegis Living West Seattle project, at 4700 SW Admiral Way, wondering if that means demolition is finally near. Last time we checked in with Aegis, they expected to get their demolition permit in June. They do have the permit now, spokesperson John Yeager tells WSB, and: “We will mobilize the first week of August. We’ll start demolition on August 8th, give or take a few days.”

The former Life Care Center building has been empty for more than three years; Aegis bought the site in late 2013 and got Design Review approval last February for a three-story center with 80 assisted-living and memory-care units.

Will this construction ever stop….

I’m glad to see this finally go forward. The building is definitely an eyesore, what with it getting tagged every few days, and reports of it being used by squatters.

@WEST – Not in this city!

I agree with @Ktrapp, time for this project to move forward. The building has deteriorated into an eyesore and had to be picket-fenced b/c of vandalism. I get that the developer/Aegis needed to go through a complex and lengthy permit process b/c of the scope of the new building to come. But I am glad they’re finally going to move forward.

This new community will also privovide many new jobs to the WS area!

Really eager to see the building come to life. Aegis is a first class organization. Ask the folks in Queen Anne at Rodgers Park. That building is remarkable.

Sorry, comment time is over.
