Another residential development underway

Geeky Swedes Ballard

The fourth major development in four months has broken ground in Ballard. This project is right across from the high school at 6559 15th Ave NW.

The Department of Planning and Development recently approved the application for 101 residential units and three live/work units. There will be a parking garage for 95 vehicles with two driveways on 15th Ave NW. According to the foreman on the project, construction will take about a year.

This is the fourth development to break ground in Ballard since September. The Broadstone Koi at 1139 NW Market Street will have 180 units, Avalon Ballard, which replaces Sunset Bowl, will have 272 units, Market Street Landing, which replaces Denny’s, will have 287 units. These four developments equal 843 units.

Several more projects are in the works that will add another 536 residential units, if built. Those developments include:

  • A small, 18-unit residential unit is slated for 2034 NW 56th Street where the building on-site was recently demolished.
  • A 107-unit residential building will replace the old Ballard Library at 5711 24th Ave NW. According to our sources, construction on this site will start early next year.
  • Hjarta II adjacent to Market Street Landing will have 102 residential units and four live/work units.
  • Ballard’s largest development that is almost an entire city block will add 305 residential units to the 2400 block of NW Market Street.

    • This building boom isn’t a surprise. Back in April Barry Hawley of Hawley Realty told the Ballard District Council that a building boom is expected in Ballard. (Thanks Keith for the tip!)
