Units in the 209-apartment community will be reserved for residents making 30% to 60% of the area median income. Floor plans will range from studios to four bedrooms.

Funded by the Seattle Office of Housing, the King County Department of Community and Human Services and the Washington State Housing Trust Fund, land for the project was purchased from North Seattle College and is part of a larger initiative to redevelop state-owned land into affordable housing.

Plans for the community include features inspired by Native Alaskan and Native American design. Residents will have access to onsite support services, with many resources catered to the indigenous population. Programs will include employment, transportation and food assistance services.

Construction is scheduled to start next year, with move-ins slated for 2029.
