Fremont Avenue North had the most activity in May. Two of the three buildings that had construction permits issued are on the same street, part of a corridor that keeps turning up in Seattle's permit record. Four buildings had their construction permits finaled during the month and two projects won their land use approval.
Construction permits issued
The three May construction permits add 223 units between them.
The largest is 4401 Fremont Ave N, a five story, 145 unit building with an issued permit worth about $11 million. It is one of several active Fremont Avenue sites we track in what is being built in Fremont. Roughly two miles north, 8635 Fremont Ave N puts another 70 units on the same corridor in Greenwood. The third, 3600 Courtland Pl S in Mount Baker, is a small infill building of eight units.
Construction permits finaled
Four residential buildings received a certificate of occupancy in May, together adding about 140 units.

The biggest is 2335 Boylston Ave E, a six story, 71 unit building in Eastlake. Behind it, 1901 N 45th St adds 40 units in Wallingford and 5819 Phinney Ave N adds 25 in Phinney Ridge. A mid rise building takes two to three years to construct, so these finals reflect permits pulled well before this year.
Land use permits issued
Two projects had their master use permit issued in May, the approval that lets them move toward a construction permit. Together they add 293 units.
The larger, 123 Boylston Ave E, is an eight story, 160 unit building in South Lake Union. The second, 3622 Woodland Park Ave N, adds 133 units and keeps Fremont among the most active neighborhoods for a third straight month.
New projects filed
Five new development applications were filed in May. Two of them are 4746 16th Ave NE in Ravenna at 38 units and 2815 16th Ave S in the International District at 27 units, with the rest in Downtown, Georgetown, and Greenwood. None will have a construction permit for a year or more.
