Compass Health Breaks Ground on Broadway Healthcare Campus Redevelopment in Everett, Washington

by Amy Works

EVERETT, WASH. — Compass Health has broken ground for the first phase of its Broadway campus redevelopment project in downtown Everett. The regional center is designed to bring together a continuum of behavioral healthcare, primary healthcare and permanent supportive housing services.

Slated to open in 2021, the five-story, 47,000-square-foot building will include 82 units of permanent supportive housing for people with chronic behavioral health challenges, including units available to military veterans and individuals transitioning into the community from Western State Hospital. The property will feature four floors of residential space over ground-floor common area amenity space. The project will double Compass Health’s housing capacity in Snohomish County.

Funding for the $26 million first phase comes from a combination of public, private and philanthropic sources, including Snohomish County Housing and Community Services, Housing Authority of Snohomish County, Washington State Housing Trust Fund, Washington State Housing Finance Commission, National Equity Fund, Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, Coastal Community Bank, Impact Capital, Premera Social Impact, KeyBank N.A. and the Washington Community Reinvestment Association.

The development team includes Lotus Development Partners as development manager, Environmental Works as architect and BNBuilders as general contractor. Additional consultants include Harmsen as civil engineer, Swensen Say Faget as structural engineer, Sider & Byers for mechanical and electrical services, and Thomas Rengstorf for landscape design.

The second phase of the redevelopment includes a behavioral health prevention and early intervention facility to replace Compass Health’s 70-year-old Bailey Center building on Broadway Avenue. Although still in the early design stages, phase three of the campus redevelopment is projected to focus on integrating behavioral health services with a primary healthcare clinic and pharmacy, in addition to supporting other services.
