About this House

Attention Investors! Madison Valley redevelopment opportunity offering multiple paths for value creation in a prime location surrounded by continued growth, investment, and strong neighborhood demand.

For larger-scale redevelopment, the property is zoned NC2-75 (M1), allowing exciting mixed-use possibilities with heights up to 75 feet. Ideal for developers, assemblage buyers, investors, or those seeking long-term upside. Situated on an approx. 4,030 SF lot, the site may support a variety of concepts, including residential above ground-floor commercial or amenity space, subject to buyer verification, design review, and permitting. An exceptional opportunity in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods with convenient access to retail, dining, transit, employment centers, and continued area growth. Buyer to verify zoning, unit count, rental potential, and redevelopment feasibility to their satisfaction.
