DEVELOPMENT: Habitat for Humanity’s North Delridge 29-unit ‘affordable homeownership’ project proceeding through system

(WSB photo, last week)

Five months after buying that empty lot in the 5000 block of Delridge Way SW, Habitat for Humanity is proceeding through the permit process for what’s described as a 29-unit, five-story “affordable for-sale” housing project. Documents in online city files say the project – official address, 5011 Delridge – will be a mix of two-bedroom and three-bedroom units. The name Puget Park Flats is in the permit system too. We have an inquiry out to the nonprofit in hopes of getting their current timeline. Habitat’s previous West Seattle projects include the six-home Highland Terrace in the 9000 block of 15th SW and four homes in the 2100 block of SW Trenton. Under previous ownership, our archives indicate, the 5011 Delridge site was proposed for half a dozen townhouses back in 2018, and once held a triplex.

    This is great! We need projects like this in Seattle!!

    Highland Terrace is 12 units. Habitat built it in two phases, but it is one association.

    Unfortunate that this project is designed to add another entrance from Delridge rather than the existing alley behind the lot.  If Delridge is truly meant to be a safe street it can’t have driveways 4x times a block.

      The speed limit is 25/35 if y’all didn’t fly down it it wouldn’t be a problem

        The issue is more for pedestrians and cyclists – driveways mean cars cutting across the bike lane and sidewalk, often without signaling

          There aren’t that many pedestrians or cyclists on Delridge. Folks stick to busses and cars. But I agree with the sentiment that the driveways opening up to Delridge are hazardous to ALL – it’s a dangerous arterial road imo and I know because I live in one of them townhomess off of Delridge.

    Glad to see low cost housing being approved for Delridge where there is good transit and eventually light rail.

    Of course there is a Lime bike thrown on the ground there. Lime clutter everywhere.
