Shovels went into the ground Tuesday on a new affordable apartment building in north Everett. Housing Hope, the Snohomish County housing nonprofit, held a groundbreaking for Bayside Landing at 2624 Rockefeller Avenue in Everett, Washington, My Everett News reported.
The building will have 67 units for people age 55 and older, with rents set for households across a range of low-income levels. It is Housing Hope's first community built only for older adults, a group the nonprofit says is one of the fastest growing among people facing housing instability and homelessness.
Church land at a discount
The site belongs to Everett United Church of Christ, which made the land available at a reduced price. Housing Hope's project page gives the building its name, Bayside Landing, and says the church did it as part of its commitment to helping create more affordable housing.

Housing Hope CEO Kathryn Opina called the groundbreaking "an important milestone" as the nonprofit expands its mission to serve older adults.
Timeline: start this fall, finish in 2028
The two sources word the start slightly differently. The news report says construction is expected to begin in late 2026. Housing Hope's own page says fall 2026. Both put completion in 2028.
Either way, the job is set to run through all of 2027.
Who is developing it
Housing Hope is partnering on the development with HumanGood Affordable Housing and its subsidiary, Beacon Development Group.
HumanGood is one of the country's largest nonprofit senior living providers. It runs more than 100 affordable housing communities across five states, serving more than 9,200 residents. Beacon, which handles development from financing and design through construction and completion, has helped develop more than 5,600 affordable homes in 92 projects since 1999.
Who is paying for it
Housing Hope thanked a long list of funders: the Washington State Department of Commerce, the state Housing Trust Fund, Snohomish County, Enterprise Community Partners, which is handling the tax credit syndication, and Banner Bank as the lender.
Neither source names the architect or the general contractor for the job. Housing Hope's page thanks "our architects and design team" without naming them, and says it will post updates, milestones and photos as construction moves forward.
