The property at 2720 Rockefeller provides a unique opportunity to redevelop a well-located parcel in growing downtown Everett or reposition and reprogram an existing historic structure to meet the evolving demand in the vibrant downtown core.
As an urban infill site, the ±14,810 square foot parcel on the corner of Rockefeller Avenue and California Street is well-positioned for redevelopment. The Mixed Urban (MU) zoning, with a height limit of 12-25 stories, provides for a broad range of programmatic uses. The Metro Everett pedestrian-friendly location benefits from favorable off-street parking requirements (Parking Area A) and a mature and growing mix of downtown amenities, businesses, entertainment, shopping, dining, and a strong multimodal transportation network.
As an alternative to a full site redevelopment, the existing 1921 four story Neo-Georgian style masonry building is a flexible starting position for an adaptive reuse project. At ±46,000 square feet across four above grade floors and a full basement, the legacy YMCA interior improvements could be reconfigured while preserving the Prohibition Era exterior architectural elements. The property is not currently on the Everett Register of Historic Places nor the National Register of Historic Places, however, should a new owner’s nomination result in a designation, financial incentives may be available to facilitate a repositioning of what has historically been a community asset.
