Which Seattle projects had construction permits issued in February 2026, which buildings had their construction permits finaled, and which new applications landed at the city.
February came down to a single construction permit. One building, 127 units and eight stories on E Fir Street downtown, was the only residential project to pull a construction permit all month. The rest of February's activity was at the two ends of the pipeline, where four buildings had their construction permits finaled and eleven new projects filed applications.
Construction permits issued
Just one residential project had its construction permit issued in February, a 127 unit building.
That building, 1121 E Fir St, has an issued permit worth about $16.5 million. A month with a single construction permit is thin on the construction side, though the one project is a large one.
Construction permits finaled
Four residential buildings passed their final inspection in February, adding 229 units.

The biggest is 321 10th Ave S, a seven story building with 114 units in the International District. Behind it, 9208 20th Ave SW brought 77 units to West Seattle. The two smaller finals, 31 units in Ravenna and seven in Queen Anne, are the four story infill that makes up most of the city's completions in a given month.
Land use permits issued
No master use permits were issued in February, so no new project won its land use approval. Projects with approvals already in place kept moving toward their construction permits.
New projects filed
Eleven distinct projects filed new development applications in February.
The largest by a wide margin is 400 W Harrison St, a seven story, 254 unit application in Queen Anne. 3207 Beacon Ave S brings 31 units to Beacon Hill, and 1020 Bellevue Ct E adds ten in South Lake Union. The remaining applications are in Rainier Beach, Georgetown, West Seattle, First Hill, Interbay, Downtown, Green Lake, and Northgate, spread citywide rather than clustered on one corridor. Most will be in review for one to three years before the city issues a construction permit.
