About this home
Rare, shovel-ready multifamily opportunity in one of Tacoma’s strongest urban corridors—fully permitted for a 20-unit development with no impact fees and a 12-year MFTE tax exemption already approved with fees paid, delivering meaningful savings and faster time to revenue. The approved plans feature 20 highly efficient one-bedroom units (450 SF each) totaling 8,900 SF of net rentable area, designed for cost-effective construction and clean underwriting. Located just minutes from UW Tacoma, downtown, and only two blocks from the Tacoma Link light rail, the site offers outstanding access to transit, employment, and amenities, with potential Mount Rainier and skyline views enhancing tenant appeal. One of the few remaining fully entitled sites in the area, with additional upside through alternative configurations—build five duplexes or retain the existing home and add two duplexes off of the alley.
