Everett’s $800M Park District Development Takes Shape
The Everett Housing Authority (EVHA) has big things planned for former Baker Heights subsidized housing project in the Delta neighborhood of Everett, WA. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, EVHA’s director of development Jason Morrow says the new 12.5-acre Park District development will offer 1,500 mixed-income residences with retail and open spaces, and a contractor could be hired soon.
Morrow says the very early cost estimate for the project is $800 million, which would be the agency’s largest development ever. Over the next eight years, the shuttered Baker Heights buildings will be razed and replaced with new structures up to 12-stories high. Design and planning firms Makers, Framework and GGLO are already working on the project.
In addition to apartments, Park District is expected to house independent radio station KSER and possibly a library, according to Morrow. There were also plans to include a market in the project, but there has been push back on that effort.
