Originally named Othello Station North, the developers re-titled the building Assembly 118 to incorporate the last three digits of the local zip code. They also agreed to use Hello Othello colors to avoid the drab appearance of the Station at Othello Park. The developers took into account community feedback to provide 257 parking spots for 359 homes to assure current residents the parking situation on the street will not worsen. The interior and exterior details will feature modern styling glorifying straight lines and exposed wood. Building management will decide which community events are allowed to take place on site. The great room will feature retail space for a restaurant, a bar and a lobby complete with a second floor balcony overlook. Imitating El Centro de la Raza on Beacon Hill, building plans call for a small plaza complete with Edison bulbs spanning the divide and a large community room on the ground floor. Now, Canadian developer Woodbridge NW Communities is preparing to open Assembly 118, a 359-unit building just north of the Station at Othello Park. Yet, in a neighborhood known for its racial diversity, debate roars over the best way to grow the community as many long-term residents find themselves unable to afford a place to live. Developers have noticed and are moving to add new homes near the Othello light rail station.
The neighborhood of Othello has a unique opportunity: if done right, it could develop into a pedestrian-friendly urban space away from the city center.
