South Park Henderson Street Development
Overview
The Henderson Street Project is entering an exciting new phase with the City of Seattle’s Office of Housing (OH) releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redevelopment of two parcels. In 2022, we purchased two parcels in the South Park neighborhoods with the intention of equitable development of affordable housing in a community that has faced a number of inequities.
The Henderson Street Project offers a chance to achieve public benefits such as family-friendly development, pedestrian friendly infrastructure, and community services on the ground floor.
The vision for this housing development includes:
- 70 - 120+ family-sized units for low-income families
- Community services on the ground floor
- Activation of the 14th Ave S corridor with housing and ground floor uses
- Safe and healthy housing to those experiencing pressures of displacement
- Efficient energy and water usage, all-electric zero-carbon building
- Meets racial equity outcomes outlined in the Duwamish Valley Action Plan
What's Next
We have conducted the first part of a two-part developer selection process. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was the first stage, which has led to the identification of two primary developers for the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. With the RFQ, we are able to save time and resources for developers and providers on their applications for the RFP. The RFP will be published in late February.
The selected primary developers who will advance to the RFP stage are:
- Jabooda Cares Community Housing Development
- Blackfish Capital LLC
