Develop your Multiplex: Seattle's New Zoning is Your 4 to 6-Unit (or more) Opportunity
Seattle Just Changed Everything!
The One Seattle Comprehensive Plan phase 1 zoning allows up to 4 to 6 or more units in areas that were previously locked in at 1 house + 2 ADUS. (Don’t worry you can still do that too, or just remodel or build a house). If you own land in Ballard, Wallingford, Greenwood, Capitol Hill, West Seattle, Columbia City, Beacon Hill, or anywhere in NR zones in Seattle, your property just became significantly more flexible.
The challenge? Designing units that:
Navigate Seattle’s code requirements efficiently
Fit the neighborhood context
Attract tenants and buyers
or Fit your multigenerational compound.
