Heartwood

Heartwood is the first building in the United States completed as-of-right under the new Type-IV codes. Representing a significant development in tall timber construction, Heartwood provides not only “missing middle” housing for Seattle, but a replicable model for future tall timber buildings across the country.  Heartwood is a 67,000 SF apartment building, providing missing middle housing for families making 60-100% of Seattle’s Area Median Income (AMI). Heartwood shares its site with the three-story affordable Helen V Apartments, owned and managed by the same local nonprofit, Community Roots Housing. Together, the Heartwood amenity spaces create a shared, unifying courtyard for both projects and communities.
