Construction a retail and residential complex in downtown Kenmore continues as planned.

The LINQ at Spencer Square is being built by MainStreet Property Group LLC, a development company which has undertaken various projects across the eastside, including projects in downtown Bothell and Redmond.

The LINQ is expected to house an EvergreenHealth facility, more than 90 residential units, retail stores and an underground parking garage.

Press releases from MainStreet Property Group said Evergreen Health will move in during 2017.

The LINQ is part of the city’s strategy to create a vibrant downtown district in the city.

“Ten years ago, the city acquired about 10-acres and over the past couple years, we’ve parceled it off for redevelopment,” Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey said.

The LINQ sits next to Kenmore Camera, who bought part of the ten acre parcel the city owned.

Karlinsey said Kenmore will also be developing a park on a portion of the 10-acre plot, which will feature heated rocks, a 4,600 square foot building with a two-sided fire place, couches and a performance space in addition to around 1,000 square feet of retail space.

“We’re doing what we call a ‘town green.’ It’ll be a community gathering space,” he said.

Additionally, he said the city is looking for a smaller business for the building’s retail space.

“We would love a local brand,” he said. “We’re not that interested in a big chain.”

The park should be completed in the summer of 2016, Karlinsey said, and the business could be ready next fall.

“We expect to really activate that space,” Karlinsey said.
