Dear friends,

Transit-oriented development is a key element in building vibrant and engaged communities and in meeting Mayor Murray's plan to add 50,000 units of housing in the next 10 years. We will build affordable housing at the new Capitol Hill light rail station, with our partners at Gerding Edlen and longtime friends at Schemata Workshop. The building will include about 90 affordable apartments, a child care center and community space at the epicenter of Capitol Hill. The overall development at the station will include over 400 apartments with retail space, a plaza, a permanent home for the farmer's market and more. It will be the "downtown" of our community and is at the heart of the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict. The citizens of this community, in collaboration with CHH, the Community Council and the Chamber, fought hard for this smart plan to bring density to an urban, transit-oriented neighborhood.

Capitol Hill Housing is honored to be the affordable housing developer. Having served this community for 40 years, through preservation and award-winning developments, we are delighted to be building more housing in the community that is at the very roots of our existence. Our goal is to move this project forward as quickly as possible. The need for more affordable housing throughout the city is great and we must keep searching for more solutions.
