A new residential/retail complex at the old QFC site at 100 Republican in Lower Queen Anne is moving forward. The owners of the property, Burkheimer Family LLC, have just filed an “alley vacation” request with the city. This would allow them to use the alley bounded by Mercer Street, Republican Street, 1st Avenue N and Warren Avenue N as part of the project.
The six-story building will house 275 units–studios, 1-2 bedrooms, 10 town homes, and 17,725 square feet of street level retail space. It is expected to be finished in 2012. A hearing on the alley vacation request is set for September 14 at 9:30am during a meeting of the City Council’s transportation committee.
