SEQUIM – The latest development proposed in Sequim sounds to city officials like exactly what downtown needs.
The three-story, 38,000-square-foot retail-office-condominium complex known as Elk Plaza would take shape on East Washington Street alongside the Clallam Co-op, if all goes as Sequim-based ADR Developers plans.
The project complies with the Sequim Municipal Code, and so all that’s needed for it is a building permit.
It could transform the city core, said city Capital Projects Manager Frank Needham, who has had conceptual discussions with ADR principals Karl Allen and John Rigg.
The project’s cost is hard to determine at this point, Rigg said, since the building will be finished according to tenants’ needs.
But he estimated that it would be “in the $3 million to $4 million bracket.”
Elk Plaza would be built on the site where an apartment building burned down almost exactly two years ago.
Its architect is Roy Hellwig of Sequim, also a designer of the Longhouse cultural center to open later this year at Peninsula College in Port Angeles.
