Ktypical asked about 1 month agoAt this early stage in construction it's difficult to speculate on when the project will be completed as many factors out of the City and contractor's control could influence construction progress and the timeline. That said, projects of this scale typically take on the order of 18-24 months for completion.

Maria Olson asked 5 months agoFirst, I apologize for the very delayed response, I missed this question when it was initially posted.
Here is the information I have available regarding the number of units and unit mix. The project includes approximately 5,741 square feet of general retail space, 4,812 square feet of restaurant and 146 multifamily units. The residential unit mix would consist of 24 studio units, 88 one bedroom units, 31 two-bedroom units, and 3 three-bedroom units.

Status !! Work seems to be underway on the site. Has the permit been issued ?
Matt Goldbach asked 5 months agoThis project is still in in permit review with the City of Mercer Island. The City anticipates that permits could be issued soon, pending provision of requested materials by the applicant. Activities that are regulated by the City, such as demolition or construction should not proceed until permits are issued. However, in preparation for construction on private property, contractors will often stage equipment and materials on site. Activities that are regulated by other agencies may also be underway (e.g. asbestos abatement which is regulated by Puget Sound Clean Air Agency).
