Mukilteo, Wash. - The Port of Everett recently announced the selection of LMN Architects of Seattle to lead the master planning for a 22-acre waterfront property in Mukilteo, Wash., locally known as "The Mukilteo Tank Farm" site. The site is situated between the proposed improvements for the Mukilteo's Lighthouse Park to the southwest and the Boeing Rail-Barge Pier to the northeast.

Because the Port of Everett project is within the city limits of Mukilteo and Everett, the LMN team will work with both cities as well as Washington State Ferries and Sound Transit in the redevelopment of a multi-modal transportation facility that encompasses a new ferry terminal, commuter rail station, and other regional transit components. In addition to the transit and public spaces, the Port-led planning effort will integrate a mix of uses that could include retail/commercial, residential, marine recreation and provide a comprehensive parking response.

LMN Architects will be supported by Norton-Arnold & Company (public involvement), Sedway Real Estate Group (market analysis/financial feasibility), Mirai Associates (transportation planning), KPFF Consulting Engineers (civil engineering), Huckell/Weinman Associates (environmental and federal/state regulations), Geiger Engineers (marine design), MacLeod Reckord (landscape architect), and Sound Parking (parking consultant).

Gray Purcell Completes Mosaic Condo Project

Portland, Ore. - Tigard, Ore.-based Gray Purcell, Inc. a commercial general contractor, has finished the approximately $4 million Mosaic Condominium project at SW 11th Avenue and Columbia Street.

Canadian developers A. Fraser McColl and Don Charity tapped Gray Purcell, Inc. at midpoint to assume general contractor responsibilities on the 8-story, 37,000-sq.-ft., mixed-use commercial/residential project.

The Mosaic's 40 units (two-level townhomes and one-level lofts) range from 460 sq. ft. to 1,191 sq. ft. Street level units are convertible to retail use and a beauty salon is already in place. Finishes include maple floors, stand-alone gas fireplace, CAT-5 high-speed Internet wiring and bike storage. One of the unique features is a planted "eco-roof," which helps to treat rainwater before it runs into the city's sewage system.

Design was handled by MYHRE Group Architects of Portland, Ore.
