Kirkland Breaks Ground On New 7-Story Apartment Building

KIRKLAND, WA — Construction broke ground this week on "The Pine," a new seven-story, 140-unit apartment complex in Kirkland's Forbes Creek neighborhood, situated between downtown and Totem Lake, just a few blocks west of Interstate 405.

The project's developer, MainStreet Property Group, describes the building as an eco-friendly "urban sanctuary," designed to celebrate nature and healthy living, and featuring a "biophilic-themed lobby" and "apothecary-themed club room." The building was developed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Gold standards and Puget Sound Energy's Built Smart guidelines, with construction including reclaimed materials from the warehouse that used to occupy the site.

The complex will offer one, two and three-bedroom plans, and a rooftop deck with views of the water. According to a news release, 10 percent of The Pine's units will be available under the ARCH affordable housing program. The building is scheduled to open in summer 2023.
