| There's no stopping growth in Redmond / credit Bob Yoder A view from Mr. Nelson's downtown "Redmond Center" parking lot. The red crane is constructing his "The Charles." building. (Apparently, several members in Mr. Nelson's extended family carry the name "Charles.") When finished, the structure will reach 8-stories, have 244 residential units, 4,920 sf of live work space, and 4,316 sf of retail. The Charles is the first project of a 22-acre Urban Village he plans for our downtown. In part, it will encompass land along the Sammamish River, the Opportunity Building (OB), a large parcel adjacent to OB, the Redmond Center, and the parking lot behind QFC. The Nelson Legacy Group (NLG) has been family-owned since the early 1950s. NLG operates retail and office properties located in Redmond, Kirkland and eastern Washington, conducting leasing, developing and property acquisition from offices in Redmond. Two other significant Urban Villages in Overlake are approved. One of the villages is 14 acres including the demolition of Sears. -- Bob Yoder, 2/5/2024 Sources: Design Review Board Memorandum, 4/15/2020; Carol Helland, Director Planning & Community Development; Thomas L.

Hi Bob. I appreciate your updates on Redmond's growth and development. I had no idea about this massive "Urban Village" project that had started all the way back in 2020. Thank you for your efforts in documenting the ongoing projects in Redmond.
ReplyDeleteMy kids looked at the new downtown apartments. They said they were very small, extremely expensive and that parking was extra. They have opted to rent at an older apartment complex with more space, lower rent and free parking.
