“See you back here in 21 months for the grand opening!”
With that, Craig Haveson of West Seattle’s STS Construction Services (WSB sponsor) ended the speeches and moved on to the shovel-turning at this afternoon’s groundbreaking ceremony for the mixed-use project that his company and Housing Diversity Corporation are about to start building at 4448 California Avenue SW in the heart of The Junction.
During the event, we learned more about the project, including the status of the “lodging” mentioned in pre-construction documents, and the financing that has made this team the only one doing major construction in West Seattle right now (they’re also building Keystone at 9201 Delridge Way SW, near STS HQ, and recently opened Harbor Flats at 3417 Harbor Avenue SW, and have a 17th/Roxbury site in reserve).
