Housing complex planned for N. 45th and Stone Way N.
Housing Resources Group, a nonprofit housing development and management group, attended the Oct. 24 meeting of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce to present its plans to build an affordable housing complex on the southwest corner of N. 45th Street and Stone Way N.
The mixed-use project would include 70 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments over ground floor commercial space, a residential courtyard and play area, and underground parking. The apartments would rent for between $500 and $900 a month to individuals and families of low to moderate income.
"This development will seek to anchor this corner and provide a gateway to Wallingford's commercial core," according to HRG, which is negotiating with Seattle Housing Authority to buy the site. HRG hopes to begin construction in October 2003, with completion set for late 2004.
