by Amy Works January 21, 2020

SEATTLE — Plymouth Housing has broken ground on an affordable housing development in downtown Seattle. Designed by SMR Architects, the 2nd & Mercer project will deliver 91 permanent housing apartments for adults who have previously experienced homelessness. The project will feature a ground-floor space for Path with Art, a local organization that utilizes art as a means to assist people recovering from homelessness, addiction or other trauma. In addition to operating out of 2nd & Mercer, Path with Art will offer classes and community arts space. The 2nd & Mercer property is slated to open in 2021. Plymouth Housing, a nonprofit developer, received low income tax credits early last year as part of an expansion to the Affordable Housing Tax Credit program. The project closed on financing in December. The City of Seattle is providing major funding for the project, with the city’s Office of Housing and Office of Arts and Culture making a first-time joint investment in an affordable housing and arts space. The site is the second of eight new buildings planned by Plymouth Housing to meet the need for housing for those experiencing chronic homelessness in King County.

SAN DIEGO — Stockdale Capital Partners and Macy’s have reached an agreement for the redevelopment of the existing Horton Plaza Mall in downtown San Diego. The project was put on hold due to a disagreement between the two companies. Macy’s has now agreed to close its store at the property, paving the way for the redevelopment to continue.

The redevelopment will include 700,000 square feet of sustainably-driven creative office space that will be home to 3,000 to 4,000 new high-quality jobs. Slated for completion in 2021, the property will also include creating 300,000 square feet of curated retail space and an activated and reimagined Horton Plaza Park. In May 2019, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved reducing the previous retail deed restriction on the property and Stockdale Capital Partners’ redevelopment vision. The Macy’s store will reportedly close in March, and redevelopment of the site is scheduled to begin in 2021, according to The Times of San Diego.
