Homestead Community Land Trust is developing two homeownership projects located on Phinney Avenue, and are inviting the community to help us select permanent names for these buildings before construction begins on the first one this fall.
The development at 5189 Phinney Ave will be a condominium building with 26 homes, of which 19 will be subsidized in price so that they are affordable to income-qualified households. This location will also have ground-floor commercial space, and we expect to welcome A La Mode Pies back to the location after construction is completed.
The development at 6109 Phinney will be a condominium building with 30 homes, of which 19 will be subsidized in price for income-qualified households. This location is still in the final stages of planning and may have either commercial space on the ground floor or possible live-work spaces.
HCLT is seeking proposals for two names, one for each property. Selecting names for these developments is an opportunity for the community to recognize and celebrate people, history or features that make this neighborhood or these locations unique.
Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee that represents a cross-section of stakeholders to the Phinney neighborhood, and may be submitted by individuals or community groups living or operating in the City of Seattle. Proposals must be complete and submitted by the deadline this Thursday, September 28th at 5pm.
An award of $500 for each name will be made to the person or persons who submit the selected name for each of the buildings.
