Construction is set to begin on the 4th Avenue apartments project in Poulsbo, the city announced in a recent newsletter.

The project is a new multi-family development consisting of two 3-story buildings, each containing 36 units, for a total of 72 apartment units. The site includes parking for 126 total vehicles, including carports, along with bicycle storage. The development will also offer recreational amenities, such a reflection garden, courtyard seating areas with BBQs, walking paths, and each unit includes a private outdoor patio or balcony. Pedestrian pathways connect throughout the site, and landscaping includes perimeter plantings, street trees, and parking lot vegetation. The project also includes frontage improvements on 4th Avenue, including new curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, per the city.

The 13.06-acre site retains 84% of its total area in tree retention, with a significant portion preserving existing tree stands and slopes. Wetlands on-site were identified and adequately buffered, with all development occurring outside those regulated areas. The architectural design incorporates deep roof overhangs, varied façade treatments, and craftsman-inspired detailing to meet city design standards. The project was approved in February of 2023.
