Crews with LOI Environmental & Demolition Services are demolishing a nearly 40,000-square-foot building on the North Williams Avenue/Vancouver Avenue corridor to make way for a large mixed-use development. Andersen Construction is the general contractor on the project, designed by Myhre Group Architects for Seattle-based owner Security Properties.

Three buildings with a total of 268 residential units and over 25,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space will be built on the site. A six-story building will occupy the north-facing portion of the block along North Skidmore Street, a five-story building will run along North Williams Avenue, and a three-story townhome-style building will be built along North Vancouver Avenue. The development will also contain a subgrade parking garage with 237 parking stalls.
