The comment period for the Compass Housing Alliance (formerly Compass Center) development at 1753 NW 56th St. is open until May 5th. The non-profit submitted a Land Use Application for the Master Use Permit, which is necessary for construction of the low-income housing. “The Land Use Application to allow a seven-story, 51,664 sq. ft. building containing 80 low income housing units, above first and second floor office (7,507 sq. ft.) and second floor medical services (949 sq. ft.) (Compass Center). Parking for 11 vehicles will be provided within the structure,” states the Land Use Information Bulletin. This is the form to comment on this development.
The Compass Housing Alliance provides services and housing options for homeless and low-income individuals and families in the Puget Sound area.
This is the same lot where this eyesore was torn down last year. Compass Center hopes to break ground on this new project later this year.
