Melanie Jan LaPlant Dressel Park has started construction
After a long interceptor pipeline install the next large neighborhood project has started construction. The MotroParks Melanie Jan LaPlant Dressel Park on the adjacent lot is expect to take 8-12 months to complete. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood and yet another asset on the Tacoma Waterway.
New year – new dock
Capital improvements underway. Our site has been cleared of the surface water interceptor Pipeline equipment and the new metro park land has been prepped and ready for a February start of construction. Next to The Fish Peddler a water based construction crane has arrived to install an newly updated city dock. Also announced 4 lots to our north on the waterway is the long awaited 260 unit $72m multi-family project with project renders.
