Last week, Engineering News-Record Northwest announced their 2024 Best Projects, and John Fox Place was named a Merit Award winner in the Residential/Hospitality category!

Developed by the Low Income Housing Institute, built by Exxel Pacific, and completed in 2023, John Fox Place creates 104 new affordable homes, family-focused amenities, and a vibrant presence on Seattle’s Aurora Ave North / Route 99 corridor. The seven-story, midblock project serves low-income families and individuals, including those exiting homelessness, while delivering a sense of comfort and style. Common spaces create a “storefront” presence along Aurora, adjoining a sheltered, all-ages courtyard, and include bike rooms on each floor and a top floor terrace with sweeping views to downtown and Mount Rainier.

The ENR Northwest 2024 Best Projects were determined on “the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, their contribution to the industry and community, safety and construction and design quality,” as evaluated by a panel of general contractor industry leaders, across 13 categories. The Residential/Hospitality category winner was The Standard at Seattle, a 25-story student housing tower in Seattle’s University District; a second Merit Award went to Parkview at Terwilliger, an 11-story independent living community in Portland, OR. The John Fox Place entry was submitted by Exxel Pacific.
