Urban Visions acquires prime lot
Urban Visions, the company behind the proposed 30+ story 2nd & Pike condominium high-rise (not to be confused with 1521 or 2nd & Pine), purchased the Liberty Jewelry & Loan pawnshop building on Pike Street between 1st Avenue & 2nd Avenue.
The parcel is on the same block, just south of the 1521 project. Urban Visions plans to redevelop the property as another condo project, making it the 4th new condo building in a 3 block stretch of 2nd Avenue.
[…] Supplemental Design Review Board Meeting set for 120 Pike Street for a 23-story building including 18 floors of residential units. This is located on the NE corner of 2nd Avenue, right next to the Liberty Jewelry. If memory serves, there used to be a teriyaki place on the ground level. […]
Wasn’t the pawnshop owned by martin Levy and his daughter Leslie Levy, and her husband, Burien dentist Richard Calvo, closed in September by the WA State Atty General for trafficing in stolen goods, for a period of, like, more than 20 years? Is the building going to be razed?
You hit the nail right on the head!!
Yeah, whatever happened to that case? Last I heard, they were released on their own recog., but have heard nothing more. I dated her in the late 80s. Craziness!
