BREMERTON, WA-The roughly $46 million waterfront revitalization project was jumpstarted this week with the demolition of the Entenai Building at the corner of First Street and Washington Avenue.

The demolition, to be completed by week’s end, marks the beginning of the long-awaited conference center/hotel development. Opus Northwest and LMN Architects plan a 15,000-sf conference center, which will occupy the first floor of a three-story office building that is to include a retail area facing the ferry terminal and a pedestrian access to the waterfront. Kitsap Transit will occupy a similar amount of space on the second floor, and the third floor remains available.

Adjacent that office building will be a $10-million, 110-room hotel by Marriott that will reportedly include a $1.5-million eating establishment by Anthony’s Restaurants. Other retail space in the project remains available. A 58-unit apartment building and a three-floor parking garage for 600 vehicles are also part of the multi-phase project. Construction is scheduled to start in March 2003 and end in mid-2004.
