Another senior housing community is in the works for Ballard, this time for the west end of Market St (2501 NW Market St).

According to the Seattle DJC, Living Care Lifestyles plans to turn the vacant lot on the corner of 26th Ave NW and NW Market St into a six-story, 110-unit senior housing community. The seller is Pacific Fisherman Inc., and the listing price was $5.5 million.
The lot has been something of a catch-all for the boatyard across the street; a line of hedges mostly hides it from view from the sidewalk NW Market St.

Living Care Lifestyles is a Washington-based senior living provider with three locations in Washington, three in California, two in Arizona, and one in Texas.
This is the second senior housing community currently being planned for NW Market St; the other is being developed by Aegis Living at the other end of Market on the corner of 11th Ave NW.
The terms and a closing date for the 2501 NW Market St property haven’t yet been announced, but we’ll update when learn more.
