A new Habitat for Humanity housing development named Copper Pines has broken ground in Loyal Heights.

Copper Pines is being constructed on City-donated land (7750 28th Ave NW) as part of the Housing Seattle Now initiative. The new units will be three-story, three-bedroom, two-bath townhomes set to house seven families in 2022.

The Housing Seattle Now initiative also includes a Phinney Ridge development—Homestead Community Land Trust will be building 19 condos on a donated parcel at 6109 Phinney Ave N.
