With plans to turn the site into a 238-unit apartment complex, a major multifamily developer closed on a six-parcel assemblage in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood for $28.7 million, according to an announcement from First Western Properties, which represented the buyer in the transaction. Holland Partner Group purchased the parcels located at the corner of NW Market Street and 24th Avenue NW. The seller was not listed.
Earlier this year, the project, called Market and 24th, was approved at a Design Review Recommendation meeting held by the Northwest Design Review Board, according to previous reporting from The Registry. The seven-story development includes parking for 168 vehicles and ground floor retail space. San Diego-based architecture firm Carrier Johnson + CULTURE is the architect and Kirkland-based The Blueline Group is the landscape architect.
Holland is based in Vancouver, Wash., and according to its website, is a fully integrated real estate investment company with two decades of experience, more than 750 team members and nearly 40,000 units built, developed, acquired and transacted since the firm’s founding. The group works with “world-class lifestyle experience designers, architects, interior designers, sustainable consultants, landscape artists, and technologists to conceive exceptional new residential communities and transform existing properties to speak to the most discerning tastes and emotional needs.”
The company was founded in 2001 and focuses on creating residential and commercial projects that “meet the highest standards in terms of quality, value creation, and innovation” and has experience in all phases of the development and construction process of mixed-use properties such as multifamily, office, parking garages and retail.
The firm has long been active in the Seattle area and has been involved in a number of recent real estate transactions and projects.
Earlier this year, the group purchased a South Lake Union site where the company plans to establish a 45-story residential tower, according to The Registry’s previous reporting. The firm acquired the project site at 616 Battery Street for $40 million. The seller was Clise Properties.
Located at a major junction where Denny, Dexter, 7th and Borealis Avenue all intersect, the site previously housed the former Old Elephant Car Wash and is poised for development as Holland Partners takes its proposed project through the entitlement process. Over the summer, that project’s applicants met with the City’s Downtown Design Review Board and received approval to move ahead to a recommendation hearing. Plans include 455 residential units and between 1,755 square feet and 2,150 square feet of retail space as well as 263 parking spaces in an above- and below-grade parking structure.

All garbage, recycling, and yard/food waste pickup has been cancelled today due to unsafe road conditions.
Seattle Public Utilities says customers who normally put their waste out on Thursdays should instead set their carts out by 7 a.m. Friday morning. They may choose to delay it again, and in that case, Thursday customers should bring in their containers and will be allowed to set out double the amount of waste next week.
Tuesday and Wednesday customers will also be permitted to set double the amount of waste out next week during their normal collection days at no extra charge.
As a reminder, any time your waste is not collected by the end of the following day, you can set out double the normal amount in the next week’s collection.

Kinwell Medical Group, a new approach to primary care in Washington, has opened its two newest locations in Seattle, one in Ballard and the other on Westlake Avenue in South Lake Union. A third Seattle clinic opened on Denny Way in June of this year. The clinics play a critical part in accomplishing the company’s goal of addressing the lack of accessible healthcare in Washington.
Kinwell serves as an exclusive in-network provider for people with Premera Blue Cross or LifeWise Health Plan of Washington insurance, offering a significant reduction in how long patients must wait to see a primary care clinician.
According to the AMN/Merritt Hawkins’ 2022 Survey of Physician Appointment Wait Times, the average wait time for a new patient appointment in the United States is 26 days. In the Seattle area, the average is 28 days. At Kinwell, it is less than 24 hours.
“At Kinwell we believe it’s important to provide everyone with affordable and accessible healthcare options,” said Dr. Mia Wise, chief medical officer. “We take a holistic approach to health and consider factors such as diet, exercise and behavioral health to ensure we are delivering tailored and personalized care. We look forward to establishing connections with members of the Ballard and Westlake communities and are excited to expand our reach.”
A 2021 study published in Medical Care reports that primary care physicians spend an average of 18 minutes with their patients. The study’s authors wrote, “Primary care offices’ overuse of brief appointment slots may lead to appointment overrun, increasing wait time for patients and overburdening providers.”
At Kinwell, clinicians take their time with patients. Moreover, the physicians at the new Ballard and Westlake locations will focus on building meaningful, long-term connections with them to ensure that everyone who walks through the doors will receive high-quality care. The clinics have treatment suites designed for patient comfort, blending the latest in technology with thoughtful details that create a welcoming experience for guests.
Kinwell’s clinics provide primary care and behavioral health services, in-person and telehealth visits, online appointment scheduling and reduced wait times. Expanded primary care services treat everyday ailments as well as manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and depression. Kinwell patients have free access to the MyChart app, through which they can make appointments, manage billing and contact their healthcare team.
Kinwell recently opened additional locations in Washington — in Olympia, Poulsbo, Yakima, Lynnwood, Seattle (on Denny Way) and Mill Creek — as part of an ongoing effort to serve communities throughout the state that need more primary care options. A clinic in Redmond is set to open before the end of the year.
Kinwell’s Westlake clinic is located at 224 Westlake Ave. N, Suite 100, and its Ballard location is at 1416 NW 46th St., Suite 7. Patients can schedule a visit online at KinwellHealth.com, or by calling 833-411-KINW (5469).
Kinwell Medical Group is a sponsor of My Ballard
