About 5252

This site had been established to assist in sharing the neighborhood conversation about the proposed Senior Living Residences at 5252 California Ave. SW. The development of this project is under the City's Living Building Pilot Program, and the developer, Aegis Living is seeking partial Living Building Challenge certification, a rigorous green building design standard (more information at: https://living-future.org/lbc/)

Aegis Living is planning an approximately 125,000 sq. ft., 100 unit, Senior Living complex at 5252 California Ave. SW (on the corner of California Ave. and Brandon St.). In its latest design iteration, the top of the build building will be approximately 65-feet above the sidewalk grade of California Ave. and will extend amost 200-feet from the property line at Brandon Street northward to the 3-story apartments at 5236 California Ave. The project has gone through the first stage of Early Design Guidance (EDG) and Aegis' Architectural Firm has recently submitted materials for the initial  Master Use Permit (MUP) review.

The project is moving forward rapidly and timely community input is needed if it will have any impact on the project and its aspirations to be partially certified as meeting the standards of the Living Building Challenge 4.0 (note: Seattle's Living Building Pilot Program does not require full certification).

Changes in the project from the Early Design Guidance phase have included higher building elevations and roof top structures extending to about 65-feet above the average grade on California Ave SW. See the link above "CURRENT DESIGN." These changes seem to fly in the face of many public comments addressing the inappropriate size and scale of the building adjacent to a residential zoned area.
