Rainier Court 3700 Rainier Ave S Seattle WA 98118

The Rainier Court project is a mixed-use development at approximately 3700 Rainier Avenue South, just north of the Rainier Valley Square shopping center. The first two phases of this four-phase project have been completed. At build-out, it will have approximately 500 units of housing and up to 10,000 square feet of commercial/retail space.

The goal of the project is to reclaim 7 acres of contaminated and underutilized land and construct a marquee development that symbolizes progress and provides quality commercial space, affordable housing, pedestrian activity, and density for this community.

In 2005, SEED won EPA’s national Phoenix Award and the Washington Association of Consulting Engineers Silver Award for this project as an innovative approach to  improving the environment and providing sustainable redevelopment in an inner city neighborhood.  Partners include Pacific Northern Construction, InterCity Construction, Johnson Braund Design Group, GeoEngineers,  US Bank, Washington State Housing Finance Commission, City of Seattle, US Environmental Protection Agency, Appollo Housing Capital, GMAC.

Phase III: This phase is in the permitting stage and is scheduled for development in early 2008.  It will include 88 units for seniors in apartments and town houses.

Phase IV: This phase is still in the conceptual stage of planning and projected to be developed in late 2008 or 2009. SEED is working with HomeSight on plans for condominiums and for-sale town homes.
