Sound Real Estate Development owns a vacant corner at 3019 S. Angeline St., directly west of Columbia City Station and Martin Luther King Jr. Way South. With architect SHW, it’s planning a five-story, 89-unit apartment building.
That proposal recently received a SEPA determination of non-significance from the city, which clears the path to a master use permit. One more round of administrative design review does appear likely.
No general contractor is indicted for a project tentatively slated to break ground this fall. Construction would take about a year. Sound may perform that role.
The team also includes Terrane, surveyor; Davido Consulting Group, civil engineer; Root of Design, landscape architect; Swenson Say Faget, structural engineer; HV Engineering, mechanical and plumbing; Sound Earth Strategies, wetlands consultant; Evergreen Certification, energy consultant; and Solarc Energy Group, energy modeling.
All the units will be SEDUs (small efficiency dwelling units). No parking is included, but tenants will have a bike room.
Total project size is estimated at 34,667 square feet, with a Mandatory Housing Affordability fee of over $737,000.
Sound also owns a nearby site at 4734 31st Ave. S. There, again with SHW, a four-story, 42-unit building is planned. That project also appears to be close to a MUP.

Seattle building is the first to get new cement-free concrete / / 04.17.25
The first batch of a new concrete that doesn't use cement was recently poured as part of a seismic retrofit to a 120-year-old brick building in the Green Lake neighborhood. That two-story building at 7200 Woodlawn Ave. N.E. is owned by Donald Davies and will be the future home to Atlantic Crossing Pub, which is moving from the Roosevelt neighborhood.
