The plans to turn the Waterwheel Lounge (7034 15th Ave NW) property into a small apartment building are ticking along.
The project to build a 5-story, 16-unit apartment building on the property is under administrative design review, with comments accepted until July 8.
The plans include a ground-floor restaurant and parking for six vehicles.
The architect is Interurban Architects; they’re naming the building Magedai Apartments.
Waterwheel Lounge, a dive-bar favorite in Ballard, opened in 1974. The future has been uncertain for the Waterwheel for some time; the property went up for sale back in 2019, and then the current apartment plans were put into motion in 2023.
