KIRKLAND, WASH. — TWG has acquired a parcel at 12410 NE Totem Lake Way for the development of Grata at Totem Lake, an apartment property in Kirkland. Groundbreaking and construction are slated to start in the coming months, with completion scheduled for early 2024.
The $50 million, seven-story project will feature 125 units ranging from studios to four-bedroom apartments. The development will reserve 88 apartments for residents earning up to 50 percent of the county’s area median income (AMI) and 37 apartments for those earning up to 60 percent AMI.
The pet-friendly community will feature maximized ventilation systems, onsite parking, bicycle facilities and shared laundry facilities. Additionally, the property is within close proximity to a playground and a shopping center with a movie theater, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, eateries, a gym and high-capacity transit.
The development will also be energy efficient with solar arrays on the building’s roofs, electric vehicle battery charging stations, specialized envelope systems to preserve energy use and green-rated appliances in units.
The development is supported by the Evergreen Impact Housing Fund – housed at Seattle Foundation – which received a $50 million investment from Microsoft last year.
