More Property Sales On Broadway (22. May 2006, 21:26 by Derek Young) ~
Things are changing along Antique Row. First we hear that the building housing the Mecca is closing. Now we hear that Dawn Lucien is selling her building next door at 747 to 753 Broadway. The offer came in through William Riley, the downtown property owner who opposed the LID, but we don’t know if the purchase is for Mr. Riley or someone else. We know of another building that’ll be coming onto the market soon in the same neighborhood. What will the neighborhood look like in a few years?

“Now we hear that Dawn Lucien is selling her building next door at 747 to 753 Broadway.”
Interesting. I hope they fix it up.
What business is in 747 to 753 Broadway now? Is that the rug shop?
I hope the new owner has some money to renovate it.
More business owners need to either renovate their buildings or sell it to someone who will.
And it looks like the Sevencom project might be finally moving along the neighborhood is really going to be changing.

Wait. I think I found the information:
“Plans call for 103 market-rate apartments and 125 parking stalls to be built the site of a on a former auto dealership/garage. The proposed apartment building that will face Broadway and Commerce streets south of Seventh Avenue will be located in the same block as the LINK light rail “Theatre District†station.”

“And it looks like the Sevencom project might be finally moving along the neighborhood is really going to be changing.”
Have they broken ground yet? Why do you say it is moving along?
This project was a pioneer for new downtown housing. It was planned before Thea’s Landing. The developer recieved a loan from the city (I think it was Federal money)to help with the project. They ran into some major enviromental issues. The loan was just exteneded until next year, so I would expect groundbreaking within the year. Lorig is the developer. They have built many projects in Seattle. They are also the developer for the UWT’s apartments on Market Street.
Also I think it was originally called Broadcom but had to change its name for legal reasons.

Sevencom has been on the City’s website since about 2000. The photo on the city website shows that parking lot just south of the old Elks building and the two story white building next to. If it ever gets going it’ll be a nice addition to that neighborhood along with the old city hall. This is several blocks away and down the hill from the St. Helens area.

If the Old City Hall Building got going, the Elks and the Sevencom project, downtown would be vastly improved. Yet, these projects seem to be dragging along.
