ARCHITECT’S PRESENTATION: Presenting from
Caron Architecture was principal
Radim Blazej, who brought a team including project manager
Andrew Kluess. They described the 5-story project as apartments – about 56, with 28 offstreet parking spaces (though none is required) – over commercial space fronting both Delridge and 18th.
For site context, Blazej pointed out that community efforts continue toward turning a nearby triangle of land into a park, and that there’s other redevelopment nearby, including new townhouses. Also, the site has to deal with three power lines running nearby.
