What’s old is new again… sort of. Last summer, we posted on plans for the old Silver Platters building and adjacent parking lot at 701 5th Ave N. At the time, the Land Use Application was for a 5-story building with 97 residential units and parking for 88 vehicles.

This week, a Design Review Board meeting was posted, along with a slightly different application. It’s pretty much the same old song, minus some parking. The proposed building stays at 5 stories, ups the number of apartments by 2 to 99, and reduces the number of parking spots to 75.

Just as with last year’s proposal, 3,600 square feet of retail space will occupy the first floor. And, the old Silver Platters building and its murals will be demolished.

The Design Review Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 21, 2016. The meeting is open to the public, it starts at 6:30pm in Room 1 of the Queen Anne Community Center at 1901 1st Ave W.
