This is a visionary project set on a 14.3-acre parcel of pristine land located just north of Grocery Outlet in Skyway, situated off Renton Ave S and across from S 116th Pl. In addition to affordable home ownership, some of the priorities identified by community members include urban farming, construction and green job training, publicly accessible walking trails and gathering spaces.
