CHS Community Post | Builder Refuses to Listen to Capitol Hill Community

IMG_1045The image shows the new Caroline W. Apartments going up at 431 Boylston Ave E.  The tri-color you see on the exterior walls was not a part of the Final Proposal and was not reviewed by a public Design Review Board.  The surrounding community is concerned because the building looks jarring and does not fit the neighborhood aesthetic like the new, well-designed Stream Belmont Apartments that went up next door. The property managers were notified of the community’s concerns but they have let us know that they don’t care and will not change it.  Seattle Department of Planning and Development have also ignored our concerns.  We are calling for assistance in preventing this new Lego / Tetris building from disrupting our neighborhood!
