Affordable Senior Housing Project Begins in Downtown Everett
Housing Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to affordable housing, has broken ground on an ambitious apartment project aimed at serving older adults in downtown Everett. The groundbreaking event took place on Tuesday and marks the beginning of construction for Bayside Landing, a 67-unit apartment complex located at 2624 Rockefeller Avenue—the former site of the Everett United Church of Christ.
Bayside Landing: A Vision for Senior Housing
Bayside Landing is designed for adults aged 55 and older, with units available to a variety of income levels. According to Housing Hope, the project will address a vital need for senior housing and support the ongoing efforts to tackle the housing affordability crisis in the Snohomish County region.
Longstanding Community Intentions Come to Fruition
The site for Bayside Landing holds a unique legacy. The Everett United Church of Christ, which previously occupied the property, had aimed to promote housing development there for decades. Congregation members have described the goal of building housing on the lot as longstanding—dating back to when the church building was rebuilt in the 1950s. Their vision advanced significantly when the church sold the property to Housing Hope in July 2024 at a reduced price of about $1.78 million, as reported in Snohomish County property records.
Innovative Approaches to Housing Development
In a blog post, Housing Hope emphasized the significance of Bayside Landing as a model for addressing regional housing challenges. The nonprofit noted, “Bayside Landing is another example of how we are tackling the housing and affordability crisis through a bold, dynamic approach to bring new models with new funding structures to the region.”
The structure is specifically designed as affordable apartments, underscoring Housing Hope’s continued investment in housing development and nonprofit housing solutions for diverse populations in Snohomish County.
Timeline and Next Steps
Construction of Bayside Landing is scheduled to begin this fall, with an anticipated opening in 2028. The project reflects the ongoing partnership between community organizations and nonprofit housing developers to expand affordable housing options for seniors.
