A seven-townhome development is well underway on NE 73rd Avenue near NE Glisan Street. It replaces a 1924-era single-family home demolished last September. Each two-story unit offers over 1,000 square feet of living space. The residences share an access walkway along the north side of the property and a covered bike barn on the northeast corner. Each of the home’s two bedrooms has attached bathrooms and vaulted ceilings.

The architect of this project designed the main floors with an open layout. Only the powder-room lavatory under the stairs has separation from the main floor. People enter the homes in the dining room area and must walk through the kitchen to the living room in the back. A three-panel sliding door leads to a back patio in the 160-square-foot yard. An in-unit laundry closet is on the second floor, and some units have an indoor bike rack bay at the front door.

Now that crews finished principle framing, work will transition to internal projects. Expect construction to continue throughout the summer, with completion later in 2023. When finished, the new homes will have unique addresses of 482 NE 73rd Avenue, 480 NE 73rd Avenue, 478 NE 73rd Avenue, 476 NE 73rd Avenue, 474 NE 73rd Avenue, 472 NE 73rd Avenue, and 470 NE 73rd Avenue.
