Legacy Partners broke ground on Legacy at Fauntleroy Apartments, a two-building development at 4722 Fauntleroy Way SW and 4721 38th Ave. SW. The community will feature 306 units that will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, studios and live-work spaces. It will also have 10K SF of ground-floor retail space, 261 parking spaces, a gym, a media room, a rooftop deck and a residential WiFi café.

“Legacy at Fauntleroy is at the center of everything West Seattle has to offer,” Legacy Senior Managing Director Mark McKallor said. “The neighborhood is perfect for those who seek the peaceful coastal culture of West Seattle coupled with the convenience of being near a vibrant downtown city life. Not only is it adjacent to a rapid ride bus stop — offering easy access to the CBD and Amazon’s offices — but it’s steps from neighborhood amenities such as Trader Joe’s, a soon-to-be-opened Whole Foods, retail and farmers market offerings at West Seattle Junction, multiple parks and the West Seattle Golf Course.”

The buildings are designed by Encore Architects. USAA Real Estate is providing the equity financing for the development and additional funding is coming from PNC Bank.

Legacy has also built The Triangle and Milehouse in Redmond, The Hadley on Mercer Island, Bowman in Seattle and The Maverick in Burien.
