Reve Development eyes apartment project by Mount Baker Station
By BRIAN MILLER
Real Estate Editor
Just a few steps south from Mount Baker Station, two separately owned properties make up a roughly triangular potential building site at 3111 Rainier Ave. S. They're now occupied by a convenience store and, to the north, the vacant former home to a cell phone and check cashing store.
Reve Development and Encore Architects recently filed a redevelopment plan for the site. The proposed eight-story apartment building would have an unspecified number of units and 47 underground parking stalls. No parking is required, but a garage entrance is indicated on Rainier.

Stazione25 is a 301 unit apartment project with parking for 217 vehicles located adjacent to the Mount Baker Transit & Light Rail Station, which provides access to downtown Seattle within 7 minutes and the University of Washington within 15 minutes. The project is 95% complete as of August 2020.

Stazione25 Groundbreaking
$95M development to rise from once-overlooked site by Seattle light rail station

Construction is beginning on an apartment complex tucked behind a South Seattle super market, and when it's done many people will wonder where the 301-unit project came from.
Developer Mount Baker Station Associates LLC will formally break ground on the $95 million project Tuesday. The Stazione:25 development is named for its address (2615 25th Ave. S.) and location near the Mount Baker light rail station.
The 1.5-acre property was largely forgotten due to its out-of-the-way location behind a QFC grocery store. The forlorn spot next to the city's 10-acre Cheasty Greenspace in recent years was littered with beer cans, hypodermic needles and vacant houses.
The property will be much more visible in 2019, when Stazione:25's two buildings – one seven stories and the other eight – are scheduled to open.

…Also during First Friday, Rêve Development, LLC, a Mercer Island real estate development company, responded to the city of Mercer Island’s Request for Qualifications for the mixed-use project at the Tully’s site.
The three principals of Rêve Development — Suzanne Zahr, Michael Ross and Robert Spitzer — are all residents of Mercer Island. They sponsored an open house on Oct. 5 to share their vision for the site and to welcome the members of their community for a thoughtful exchange of ideas.
Rêve’s proposal includes the required commuter parking, for-sale housing, enhancements to the Greta Hackett Outdoor Sculpture Gallery, integrated public plazas, and the pedestrian and bicycle connection between the new light rail station and the Town Center through ground level retail served by an open-air galleria. Rêve is planning for 70 high-end residential condominiums, with a mix of studios, and one-, two- and three-bedroom units.
It also includes the Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA), a facility for arts education, studio spaces and galleries anchored by a 300-seat theater to serve Youth Theatre Northwest, as well as other theatrical, musical and community-based events
