Marysville Corporate Center / 156th St Bridge and Road Extension

57.5 acres of agricultural land requiring site grades be raised across the site to facilitate development and drainage. The proposed grades require construction of a fill embankment up to approximately 9-10 feet above existing ground surface levels. Stripping approximately 1.5 feet of organic native material.  In conjunction with filling the site, Team Nelson constructed a 1,300 foot  extension to 156th St NE including a 40-foot-wide by 115-foot-long bridge structure across Hayho Creek, two sperate bores beneath Hayho Creek that included a 24” bore for Sewer and 20” bore for Water. A native riparian buffer restoration to be implemented along 8,105 square feet of stream in addition to 190,000 square feet of buffer enhancement.

Marysville 172nd Apts.

The project site is an 18.5-acre assemblage of 474 residential units in an elevated garden-style community featuring 16 buildings. Team Nelson was contracted to perform all earthwork and utilities, including sewer, storm, and water line installation. The project also included two new cast-in-place concrete detention vaults: (1) 179’-0” wide × 245’-8” long × 8’ deep and (2) 81’-0” wide × 294’ long × 8’ deep, with prefabricated hollow-core concrete slabs for the lids. Team Nelson completed structural excavation and backfill for fifteen 3-story, wood-framed, garden-style apartment buildings and a clubhouse. In addition, the team installed all hard surfaces, including asphalt paving, curb, gutter, sidewalks, and frontage improvements along 172nd Ave NE, 19th Ave NE, and 23rd Ave NE.

Prose Southcenter

This project consists of a 379,968-square-foot mixed-use development located in the heart of Tukwila near Southcenter Mall. The development includes a two-story above-grade parking garage with parking for 317 vehicles, more than 2,000 square feet of retail space, and 285 residential units.

Whisper Lake Plat

Development of the 2nd division of Whisper Lake is approx. 21.5 acres and will create over 80 new single-family homes ranging from 1,500 to 2,300 SF. To achieve the site grades, over 16,500 cubic yards of material will have to be cut/filled, and another 11,000 tons of material will be imported for road base to pave over 8,000 square yards of new asphalt roadway and over 15,000 square feet of new sidewalk.
Access will be created by installing a new 40 ft long bridge over an existing stream bed and a new entrance off State Highway 548. Installation of utilities includes approx. 4,900 LF of sewer main, 8,765 LF of storm drainage, and 4,400 LF of water main.

Ascend

A prestigious Newcastle residential development featuring 37 single-family condominiums nestled along a newly constructed loop road winding through the central and southeastern portions of the site. The community combines modern living spaces with historical charm. Team Nelson was contracted to perform comprehensive earthwork and utility installations, including sewer, storm, and water lines, ensuring the development infrastructure meets City of Newcastle standards. A robust 108,500-cubic-foot cast-in-place detention vault, complete with prefabricated hollow-core concrete planks for the lid, will effectively manage stormwater.

Grading activities will achieve the proposed roadway and building pad elevations, with fill materials reaching a maximum thickness of 15 feet in the west-central development area. The project also includes relocating four existing structures to the northern portion of the property, transforming the area into the City of Newcastle Heritage Park and preserving its history for future generations. Team Nelson will complete structural excavation and backfill for 37 wood-framed single-family condominiums, 16 of which include daylight basements.

Surface improvements include asphalt paving, grind and overlay, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and frontage improvements along SE 71st, 138th Ave SE, and 136th Ave SE. An elevated boardwalk on pin piles will also be constructed along the east side of 136th Ave SE. The project is designed to create a vibrant and sustainable community where residents can enjoy both contemporary living and cultural heritage.
