Coming to Othello Station: The Future

Oth­ello Part­ners recently announced that they would break ground on The Sta­tion at Oth­ello Park—the build­ing on the right side of the image — in early July, but it looks like the the train open­ing is going to just barely beat them to the punch. The project is a big one, 420,000 total square feet, with 350 rental apart­ments and 40,000 square feet of retail. Key to the fea­si­bil­ity of the project was the City’s Mul­ti­fam­ily Tax Exemp­tion program.

The build­ing in the left side of the ren­der­ing is Oth­ello Part­ners’ follow-on mixed-use project with 342 apart­ments and 18,000 square feet of retail. The project recently passed through Seattle’s Design Review process, but the start date is con­tin­gent on the future eco­nomic climate.

Together the two Oth­ello projects will put about 700 new units of hous­ing at the sta­tion. That trans­lates to 1000 or more new peo­ple liv­ing in the sta­tion area. That is awe­some. Transformative.
