KENT, WA-Plan B Development says it is set to break ground early next year on Project Springboard, a $20-million mixed-use development here that will include a 74-unit hotel with an indoor waterpark, 119 condominium units, 23,000 sf of retail space and 350 parking space in a four-level garage. The hotel will fly the La Quinta flag and about half of the condominium units will be reserved for seniors.

The project site is bound by 2nd and 4th avenues and Smith and Harrison streets in Downtown Kent. The site is across the street from Tarragon Development’s four-phase Kent Station project. The first phase of $100-million project opens next month with 14-screen AMC movie house, restaurants, shops and a branch of Green River Community College. Phase Two of Kent Station will include five additional retail buildings that will be filled mostly with national retailers. Phase III will be a residential development, either condominiums or apartments, and Phase IV will be a further expansion of Green River Community College.

Additionally, the City of Kent is proposing to develop a 33,500-sf Town Square Plaza development adjacent to the project site. The City’s economic development director Nathan Torgelson told GlobeSt.com in June that the plaza will host the Kent Lions Club’s Farmers Market, other community festivals, a concert/amphitheater venue, an interactive water feature and open areas for seasonal activities. The city plans to break ground for the development by the end of next year.
