In the latest Land Use Bulletin news, there are three sites slated for demolition for multi-story residential buildings. All three are in the planning stage, so no concept drawings yet. A key landmark of sorts, the Silver Platters building, is on the list. After being vacant for over two years, looks like it’ll become a 5-story residential building.
Here are the details:
701 5th Ave N aka Silver Platters building:
- 5-story structure containing 97 residential units
- 3,600 square feet of commercial use at ground level
- Parking for 88 vehicles to be provided below grade
- Existing structure to be removed (goodbye, Silver Platters murals)
- 6-story, 92 unit apartment building
- Parking for 45 vehicles to be provided
- Existing structure to be demolished
- Note: this is the old one-story liquor store and Floyd’s Place on 1st Ave N
- 5-story structure containing 75 residential units above four live-work units
- Parking for 69 vehicles will be located below grade
- Existing structure to be removed
- Note: this is the blue wood building across Western from the PI Building
That’s three Land Use notices in 2 weeks, so expect more in the future as the landscape at the bottom of the hill changes and grows upward. And, yes, I’ve used both Uptown and Lower Queen Anne in the title of this post – if I go with one or the other, someone isn’t happy, so make peace with the combo… for now.
