Main Place Apartments
Main Place Apartments
Bellevue, Washington

Rising from the ashes in the vacant lot on Main Street in "Old Bellevue" where once a furniture store anchored the neighborhood, this $5 million infill project is a mixed-use development consisting of: 30 wood-framed apartments on three levels; a two-level concrete structure enclosing retail, offices, and 33 parking spaces and associated street frontage improvements, as well as 33 on-grade parking stalls.

The design incorporates traditional "Main Street" pedestrian sensitive notions of marquees, small retail signage, multi-paned windows, and high-quality materials, with a facade consisting of a "bottom, middle and top," in combination with creating an urban streetscape that visually expresses the multiple and different interior uses within the building.
