Bertha Pitts Campbell Place

Bertha Pitts Campbell Place is in Downtown Seattle’s Yesler Terrace neighborhood. The seven-story, 103-unit building provides supportive housing to people transitioning out of homelessness. Rehabilitation services provided to tenants include support for drug abuse and mental health conditions. Services are provided on-site, with three units dedicated to live-in staff. The building also includes two community rooms, a common kitchen, and an outdoor courtyard.

Plymouth Housing partnered with St. Francis House on this project, which occupies TI space on the first floor. W.G. Clark completed this TI project for St. Francis House adding office spaces and a breakroom. This build out also delivered a second mezzanine level to the space, tagging on an additional 1,000 square feet. St. Francis House uses the first-floor space in Bertha Pitts Campbell Place to distribute food, water, clothing and other aid to those in need.

Winter construction during record snow and rainfall and encountering undocumented groundwater required W.G. Clark to pivot during structural excavation. Dewatering and over-excavation were quickly incorporated into the project. Our team was able to accelerate framing activities to make up the extra time needed during earthwork.

W.G. Clark also utilized drone photos and overlays to improve PT deck layout techniques, pre-tied double height rebar column cages to save time and reduce on-site activities on the tight urban site, and self-performed the structural concrete package to successfully complete Bertha Pitts Campbell Place.
