TACOMA, WASH. — Portland, Ore.-based Ethos Development has broken ground on The Moraine, a multifamily property in Tacoma. The eight-story, 115,000-square-foot podium building will include 160 apartments, a fitness center, media room, roof deck with communal kitchen and billiards room.
The project has a voluntary target of 25 percent minority and disadvantaged business participation during construction, a target to recycle 70 percent of the construction waste stream, and the building will have both onsite solar panels and a green roof.
The units are designed to provide market-rate affordability by way of efficient floor plans, and 20 percent of the units will be available to those earning no more than 80 percent of area median income as part of the tax exemption program of Pierce County.
The project team includes Portland-based Works Progress Architecture, Walsh Construction Co. and Ethos Commercial Advisors.
