Emerald Bay Equity’s land use application for its Seven Hills Apartments project at 1919 Queen Anne Ave. N. was approved by the Department of Planning and Development last week, giving developers a green light to move forward with the project.

This is the latest development in the long-stalled project since the public design review meeting back in January. The approved land use application for the apartment complex across the street from the Upper Queen Anne Metropolitan Market consists of a four-story structure containing 57 apartments, over 8,180 square feet of ground level retail space, and parking for 68 vehicles to be provided below ground. The existing structures will be demolished.

Seven Hills Apartments is slated to begin construction late June, said Emerald Bay Equity principal Joe Geivett.

This project is one of several in the area by Emerald Bay Equity. Eden Hill, completed in 2007, and the Sweetbrier building, completed in 2009, lay directly to the north of the coming Seven Hills Apartments.

Emerald Bay Equity also submitted a land use application for the the Metropolitan Market redevelopment, the final of four mixed-use projects EBE is managing on the hill, last Thursday. The application calls for a four-story, 112 unit residential building with about 30,000 square feet of retail and parking for 202 vehicles below ground at 1900 Queen Anne Ave. N. Redevelopment for the Metropolitan Market is anticipated to begin in 2012, according to Geivett.

Community members interested in making a public comment on the project or appeal of the DPD’s decision may submit comments to the hearing examiner no later than May 12. All comments must be made in writing and delivered either in person to the hearing examiner’s office on the 40th floor of Seattle Municipal Tower at 700 Fifth Ave. or by mail to the City of Seattle Hearing Examiner, P.O. Box 94729, Seattle, WA 98124-4729.
