Spring District development company Wright Runstad has partnered with Security Properties for the construction of a block of five mixed-use residential buildings over 2.53 acres of the district’s 36-acre site.

The five buildings will range from four to nine stories and total 390,924 square feet, not including several underground parking structures, according to the city of Bellevue’s Weekly Permit Bulletin: One will be six stories with 62 units and ground floor retail; another is nine stories with 104 units and an at-grade fitness center; the third is six stories with 46 residential units; a fourth will be a 78-unit mixed use building at both four and five stories and the last will be a four story mixed use building with 19 units and office space at ground level.

Security Properties spokeswoman Jeanne Muir tells the Reporter the developer’s approach is to create an urban, modern apartment complex for tech-oriented people in their 20s and 30s, as well as offering family-friendly units like three-bedroom town homes with as much as 1,700 square feet of space. Nearly half of the site will be used for a 50,000-square-foot pedestrian-only plaza. The pedestrian gateway will be “The Hillclimb,” which “connects residential uses with the street at the corner” of Northeast 12th and 120th, according to design documents.

Project borders include Northeast 12th Street to the south, 120th Avenue Northeast to the west, District Way north and 122nd Avenue Northeast to the east.

The project was first announced by Wright Runstad president Greg Johnson in the fall of 2013, ahead of the Spring District’s groundbreaking.
