Lowell Elementary School and Mary Bridge Children's Hospital both hold active construction permits in Tacoma. Lowell Elementary School, at 1218 North Yakima Avenue, is recorded at $13.1 million. Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, at 305 South L Street, is recorded at $543,000, a modest figure that likely reflects a specific phase or addition rather than a full new hospital building. Both sit inside a much larger pipeline of tracked projects across the city.
As of July 29, 2026, BuildVue's Tacoma page lists 89 total projects, 935 residential units, and an estimated $421 million in construction value. BuildVue's project records, the same data behind its map, show 66 of the 89 under an active construction permit, 11 complete, 11 withdrawn, and 1 in land use review, also as of July 29, 2026.
The projects moving through the pipeline
The addresses, stage and value below come from BuildVue's project records as of July 29, 2026 evening Pacific. These figures move as permits are filed, reviewed and closed, so a later visit to buildvue.co/tacoma may show different numbers.
| Address | Project | Units | Stage | Est. value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2534 S G St | Not listed on record | 149 | Construction | $35.3M |
| 415 E 25th St | Tacoma Trax | 115 | Construction | $28.9M |
| 1622 S Mildred St | Mercy Aviva Crossing | 129 | Construction | $23.2M |
| 702 S 38th St | Apollo Heights | 130 | Construction | $19.1M |

The biggest apartment buildings under construction
A 149 unit building at 2534 South G Street is among the largest BuildVue lists for Tacoma by unit count. BuildVue has not recorded a project name for it, only the address and the permit record, and it holds an active construction permit recorded at $35.3 million as of July 29, 2026.
Two more large apartment buildings are close behind. Tacoma Trax at 415 East 25th Street is under construction with 115 units and a recorded value of $28.9 million. That permit was first filed back in 2017, so it has moved through Tacoma's review process for years before reaching construction.
South Mildred Street carries a related project under the Aviva Crossing name. Mercy Aviva Crossing at 1622 South Mildred Street is under construction with 129 units and a recorded value of $23.2 million. Apollo Heights at 702 South 38th Street rounds out the group, under construction with 130 units and a recorded value of $19.1 million.
What is still in review
A development at 2710 North Madison Street is among the largest BuildVue lists for Tacoma by estimated value, recorded at $46 million as of July 29, 2026. It sits in land use review, an earlier stage than construction, with a permit filed in July 2026, so it is one of the newest large projects in the city's pipeline. It will need to clear land use review and then a construction permit before any building starts.
