New row house development planned in Madison Park

A new row house development designed by Lemons Architecture is expected to start coming together by early April on 27th Avenue East.

The 115 27th Ave E project is being constructed by Flanigan Group Development LLC, and includes four three-story row houses with a fourth-level penthouse over the stairs, said Jonathan Lemons, and two single-family homes behind them.

The single-family homes will be 1,866 square feet, while the row houses will be 1,540 square feet, or roughly 470 square feet per floor, Lemons said.

The first floor of the row houses are being treated as dens, with a living/dining/kitchen level on the second floor and master suite on the third floor.

There will be a landscaped terrace area, gardens throughout the project, bioplanters to divert and treat stormwater runoff and a green roof.

“Each person has their own, a little spot for urban architecture, and the whole thing Built Green,” Lemons said.

Lemons Architecture has designed a large number of row house developments in Seattle. Lemons said he went to The Netherlands prior to the firm’s first such project.

“They do such great urban infill, urban architecture row houses,” he said, adding the goal is never to create cookie-cutter developments. “We don’t want to start any project like the previous project. We like to reinvent each project.”

The 115th 27th Ave E project sits between East John and East Denny Way, and several blocks south of East Madison Street. Construction is slated for completion in spring 2019.
