INNOVA worked with the King County Housing Authority and the City of Bellevue to prepare a feasibility study that validated the construction of a new $11 million, 3-story, 36-unit apartment building that will maximize the affordable housing available at the Highland Village site. This property is designed to provide affordable family housing, with a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units. The building replaces two smaller buildings to maximize the allowable site density, while fitting in with the neighborhood requirements.

The feasibility phase included working with city planning to accommodate the zoning and design review requirements. Since the property partly overlapped a neighborhood transition zone, Design Review was required. Special attention was paid to the scale and design elements of the building.

The project recently broke ground and construction is expected to last through 2019. The estimated construction cost is $11.4 Million.
