We’re representing the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer on a 1.65-acre site just ~½ mile from Kenmore Town Center, with walkability to the Burke-Gilman Trail and views of Lake Washington.
A key component of this opportunity is that the existing church building and memorial garden will remain, which leaves approximately ~1 acre (±42,000 SF) of developable land for new construction. The required church parking can be integrated into the redevelopment.
Ownership is seeking a qualified, values-aligned development partner and is open to multiple deal structures including joint venture, ground lease, or outright sale. The goal is to deliver a thoughtful mixed-use or residential project that complements the existing church use while creating long-term sustainability for the site.
From a development standpoint:
• Potential for ~40 units under a CB (Community Business) zoning scenario (subject to upzone)
• Alternative path under current R6 zoning for a lower-density townhome project (~12 units)
• Opportunity to incorporate community-serving or small-scale commercial uses
• Density bonus potential tied to affordable housing (per recent legislation)
The City has been receptive to a well-designed, community-oriented concept here, and early planning feedback has been encouraging.
This is a differentiated opportunity where the seller is focused on finding the right partner—not just executing a transaction—so there’s flexibility in structure and a chance to get creative.
