Updates on Land Use Projects
7210 Roosevelt Way NE
The former Swedish Health Services clinic near Safeway, demolished in 2025 after years as a hazardous, vacant property, now stores Mazda inventory while soil contamination is addressed. A concept exists for a 72-unit mixed-use building, but no official project has been proposed yet.
6500 Roosevelt
A 9-story, 144-unit apartment building is proposed for Roosevelt’s now-vacant corner at 65th and Roosevelt Way, once home to East West Bookshop and Atlantic Crossing, emphasizing sustainable construction. Past vandalism concerns have quieted, though construction financing continues to delay the project.
Roosevelt 4A
Roosevelt 4A will transform a parking lot near Santo Coffee into a 4-story, 35-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail. No safety incidents have occurred since the Mio was built, though financing conditions have stalled the project’s timeline for years.
Roosevelt 5A
Roosevelt 5A, near Rising Sun Produce, will bring a 4-story, 52-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail and no parking to a cleared lot. No safety incidents have occurred since demolition, though the project remains stalled by financing conditions as of mid-2026.
Roosevelt 3A
The long-blighted Roosevelt 3A lot will become a 6-story, 149-unit apartment building, though two adjacent Hugh Sisley-owned properties remain neglected eyesores under city monitoring, with vegetation, trespassing, and structural decay issues persisting despite years of violations and no demolition permits.
6615 Roosevelt Way NE
The old Bank of America site at 6615 Roosevelt Way NE, demolished in 2025 after years of safety hazards, now has a development plan: an eight-story, 115-home mixed-use building with ground-floor retail, slated to break ground in 2028.
7012 Roosevelt Way NE
7012 Roosevelt Way NE, once the blighted Wedell Auto Electric shop, has been demolished and cleared, resolving past safety violations. Isola Communities holds a construction permit for a 6-story, 91-unit apartment building, though the site remains vacant with construction not yet started.
6220 Roosevelt
6220 Roosevelt will replace the closed Speakerlab and Definitive Audio buildings with a 7-story, 147-unit apartment complex. Past encampment complaints have been resolved, and the project is seeking a construction permit, though financing conditions may affect its timeline.
Aster Townhomes
Aster Townhomes, five four-story buildings offering 36 homes near NE 68th St, are under active construction after past vacant-lot safety issues were resolved. Originally targeted for Fall 2025 completion, only the first phase has opened, with no new completion date set.
Roosevelt 1A
Roosevelt 1A, an L-shaped 198-unit apartment complex near light rail, has partially demolished its site with two structures remaining. Once flagged for vacant-building violations, both cleared inspections in 2024, though construction financing continues to delay the project’s timeline.
Roosevelt Manor
Jenkins Properties is replacing the fire-damaged original Roosevelt Manor with a new 8-story, 131-unit building featuring commercial space and affordable units, targeting a 2027 opening. Construction began in 2026 following the previous building’s tragic 2024 fatal fire.
Brooklyn 1B
Brooklyn 1B, a 7-story, 77-unit affordable housing project near Roosevelt High School, will replace two derelict, fire-scarred houses at 1309 and 1311 NE 66th St that remain under city vacant-building monitoring despite years of demolition permits and safety violations.
