The Maple Street Apartments represent a landmark multi-phase residential development comprising four distinct apartment buildings: The Shearwater, Turnstone, Sandpiper, and Condor. The project was completed in four phases, with a fifth phase providing dedicated parking for residents of the 288 new units. This phased development strategy allowed for careful neighborhood integration and phased occupancy, maximizing project efficiency while maintaining community harmony.
The first floor, constructed with concrete and steel stud framing, contains retail space and townhouse-style apartments that activate street frontage. The upper four stories consist of wood-framed apartments, providing a mix of unit types and price points to serve diverse housing needs. The mixed-use design puts commercial and residential life on the same block, ground-floor shops and services with homes above.
Maple Street Apartments delivered 288 new homes to Bellingham across a range of unit types and price points, with ground-floor retail activating the streetscape and townhouse-style apartments adding variety to the residential mix. The phased approach let each building fill and stabilize before the next came online, and the fifth-phase parking solved the density challenge that comes with 288 units in an urban setting. Managing a multi-year, multi-building residential program like this, carrying consistency, quality, and operational knowledge across four distinct construction campaigns, is how you earn the next one.
