The Capco Plaza project on Southwest Alaska Street and 42nd Avenue Southwest is moving forward as scheduled and both QFC and Office Depot, the project's main retail clients, could open as early as August.

The project will include a 40,000 square foot QFC grocery store and a 20,000 square foot Office Depot on 42nd Avenue as well as 157 housing units.

West Seattle residents seem eager for the development to be completed.

"Our neighborhood is very excited about that project," said Sharon Meeks of the Fairmount Community Association. "We're anxiously awaiting for them to open."

The residential units have been named the Altamira Apartments and will include studios, one to two bedroom units, and town homes, many which have already been pre-leased.

Developer Leon Capelouto ensures that the project includes adequate parking on site with three levels that include 365 spaces.

From the beginning of the design process Capelouto has said that the new development will bring synergy to the Alaska Junction and have a positive impact on existing business there.

He also modified the project early in the design review process to make it more pedestrian friendly and allow for easy travel between Capco Plaza and the Junction.
