With plans underway for a new city center project downtown Bothell could be the real estate Pearl of the northwest. The word on the street is, Bothell is on the threshold of creating something very special with hints of place-making comparable to Portland's Pearl District.
In 2010 McMenamins, a brewpub and hotel chain operating in Washington and Oregon agreed to purchase the Anderson School Building in Bothell Washington. The 5.41 acre Anderson site was previously owned by the Northshore School district is part of the 18 acres being sold to developers for redevelopment of Downtown Bothell.
"McMenamins plans in converting the 1930 ‘Art Deco' building in to a historic hotel, pub, small bars, movie theater, and more says McMenamins spokesperson Renee Rank." This could be the driver that Bothell is looking for to help jump-start Bothell's major multi-year planning effort to redevelop the downtown area into mixed use development, living areas, retail, office, and a new City Hall Campus.
This could help spell "recovery" to the new housing market along the I-405 corridor. Bothell could soon become the hub for pedestrian activity that will create street-plaza-level activities that residents and visitors would gravitate towards.
Just 4 miles north of downtown Bothell is one CamWest's newer communities "Kimura Gardens." 3-5 bedroom homes with greenbelts, fully maintained front & back yards, 3 community parks, playground and trails starting in the low $300s with great access to job centers, restaurants, schools and shopping.
The Bothell area offers a wide range of new homes to select from starting at $269,000 to $800k for more information please contact Adrian Willanger 206 909-7536
