REDMOND, Wash. — Bellwether Housing today celebrated the groundbreaking of Prisma, a 328-home mixed-use affordable housing community located directly across from the Overlake Village light rail station in Redmond.

Thirty-three residential units will be set aside for people living with disabilities.

The  ground floor commercial spaces will include a city services center, small business incubator, nonprofit support hub, digital literacy media lab, and culturally informed community services to benefit residents and the surrounding community. A third commercial space will host a small tenant, such as a café or food-based business, to activate the street and promote community interaction.  

The City of Redmond will own and operate a small business and city services center with a walk-up service counter and rotating public safety and human services support programming.  

The Wayfinder Hub, led by the Friends of the Village Collective, will feature a commercial kitchen, media lab, and culturally relevant support services to incubate small businesses and spark community-driven innovation. 

When complete in 2028, Prisma will provide 328 affordable apartment homes for individuals and families earning between 30% and 80% of Area Median Income, including a significant number of family-sized units. Resident services will be led by Hopelink.
