The new Acer House apartment development at 23rd and Cherry in Seattle has begun seeking residents for its 114 units. The five-and-a-half-story building includes a range of living spaces from 400-square-foot studios to two-bedroom floor plans.
Why it matters
The project serves as a recent example of urban residential density, dedicating 30% of its total units to low-income residents to address local housing availability.
The development offers 114 apartments ranging from 400-square-foot studios to two-bedroom units measuring 700 to 800 square feet. Thirty percent of these homes are officially reserved for low-income residents.
