SEATTLE—University District Parking Associates Inc. selected Seattle-based commercial real estate firm Touchstone and Atlanta-based real estate development company Portman Holdings to initially redevelop the University District parking lots in 2019. The firms are now working on the two-building mixed-use project in the University District.
Construction on the Chapter Buildings and Brooklyn Cut is anticipated to begin in 2021 and the project is estimated for completion in 2023. The new development is located within one block of Sound Transit's future link light rail station, which opens in fall 2021.
"As a long-term business owner, I've seen the University District neighborhood change many times over the years," said Don Schulze, University District Parking Associates president. "While times are currently difficult, we have a long-term optimism for this neighborhood and are confident that the Touchstone and Portman Holdings are the right development partners for this important project."
