There is an upcoming public meeting to discuss plans for two new 8-story apartment buildings in Ballard’s core.
The two apartments, known as the Ballard Hubs, would be back-to-back on the same block, separated by an alley.
One of the apartments is being planned for 1740 NW Market St, with plans for 76 units, retail and office space, and parking for just two vehicles. The apartment would replace the FedEx building.
The apartment being planned for 1741 NW 56th St would replace the FedEx parking lot and include 84 units with retail and office space. Parking for 33 vehicles is proposed.
The designers are Bumgardner Architects, who also made the Ballard On the Park apartments, Janus apartments in Greenwood/Phinney, and quirky Epi apartments in Fremont.
Both meetings will be held on Sept. 23 at the Ballard Community Center (6020 28th Ave NW) in the Sunset/Captain Ballard Room at 6:30pm.
