Madison Valley redevelopment opportunity offering multiple paths for value creation in a prime location surrounded by continued growth, investment, and strong neighborhood demand.For buyers not pursuing immediate ground-up development, the existing structure presents compelling potential. A thoughtful renovation and reconfiguration may create two separate residential units, offering an owner/user setup, income opportunity, or long-term hold while preserving future redevelopment options.For larger-scale redevelopment, the property is zoned NC2-75 (M1), allowing exciting mixed-use possibilities with heights up to 75 feet. Ideal for developers, assemblage buyers, investors, or those seeking long-term upside.Situated on an approx. 4,030 SF lot, the site may support a variety of concepts, including residential above ground-floor commercial or amenity space, subject to buyer verification, design review, and permitting. Preliminary planning suggests approximately 20,000–28,000 SF of gross buildable area and roughly 25–40 residential units, depending on design, unit mix, parking strategy, and commercial use.An exceptional opportunity in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods with convenient access to retail, dining, transit, employment centers, and continued area growth. Buyer to verify zoning, unit count, rental potential, and redevelopment feasibility to their satisfaction.
