Public Comment Period Open On Student Housing Project By Everett CC

A perspective from Broadway of the east side of the building.

A look at the west side of the building from the south looking north.

Koz Development, which first built student housing in cooperation with Everett Community College back in 2015 planned this building on their own and actually ran into opposition from Everett Community College. While the Chinese Restaurant was torn down and the property empty, the folks at Koz Development have been revamping plans for the development.
