A set of four-story apartment buildings, each with approximately 73 units, and an 82-room Holiday Inn Express are the next projects in the lineup at the 6-acre mixed-use development that’s been taking shape over several years around Southeast 192nd Avenue and 20th Street near the Vancouver-Camas border.
This week a subsidiary of Kirkland Development filed a pre-application with the city of Vancouver for the two-building apartment project called 192nd Station West Lofts near the southwest corner of 192nd Avenue and 20th Street, adjacent to the Candlewood Suites. The application calls for each building to contain a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, with 216 parking spaces on surface lots or in carports. Dean Kirkland, the project developer with partner Tom Files, said he hopes to begin construction in November and have the project completed in about one year.
Kirkland said he’s also preparing to submit an application for the Holiday Inn Express, which would be similar in appearance to the 83-room Candlewood Suites, an extended-stay hotel his company built that is set to open Oct. 1. Kirkland said he hopes to launch construction of the Holiday Inn Express in October or November.
Adding to the mix will be an 11,000-square-foot building that is already fully pre-leased for doctors’ offices, Kirkland said. Construction will begin later this year and should be completed in the spring, he said.
