2301 East Union Street | Seattle

In May 2017 HAL partnered with Lake Union Partners to bring 301 market rate apartments and 131 affordable apartments to the 23rd and Union intersection in Seattle’s Central District. The development includes a large public square and 27,000 square feet of complementary retail featuring locally-owned, independent businesses. Retailers include Arte Noir, Boujie Bar, Jerk Shack, Raised Donuts and Neighbor Lady. Construction began in September 2019 and was completed in January 2022.

In addition, the partnership helped facilitate the future development of an additional 120 affordable apartments by a partnership between Africatown and Community Roots Housing.

The intersection at 23rd & Union is a historical crossing and has a significant place in the life and legacy of the neighborhood. To honor this legacy, the project team partnered with community members to create The Midtown Square Arts Plan and The Midtown Square Arts Advisory Panel. Using the theme "Reverence and Discovery," a variety of artworks were commissioned from artists with ties to the neighborhood to represent the area's rich heritage and encourage multi-generational and multi-cultural interaction in the project’s public square.
