About this home
Don’t miss this rare chance to secure a prime development opportunity. Incredible properties like this are becoming harder to find and won’t stay on the market for long. Spanning an impressive 33,495 sqft, this versatile parcel is primed for your next residential or investment project. Zoned Urban Residential 1 (UR1), it offers exceptional flexibility allowing up to 6 dwelling units, including 2 ADU's, attached or detached. Even more compelling, recent updates under Home In Tacoma Phase 1 and state legislation open the door to lot flexibility and the potential for separate ownership of individual units. Developers will appreciate the potential to create new lots with a minimum size of just 2,500 sqft, as well as reduced setbacks including a possible 10-foot front setback (East side), maximizing buildable space. With the possibility of a Short Plat subdivision, this site could support up to twelve units, making it a standout investment opportunity. The property’s unique topography adds both value and appeal. Steep slopes to the North and West provide natural privacy, environmental protection benefits, and a beautiful tree canopy setting. Infrastructure is already within reach, with sewer access on the West side, storm systems on E 46th St, and power and water readily available. With flexible access options from the East, thoughtful site planning possibilities, and strong development potential, this property is a rare find.
