Mill Creek Residential Unveils Modera Woodmont Beach
Mill Creek Residential has officially broken ground on its latest project, Modera Woodmont Beach, located in Des Moines, Washington, approximately 20 miles south of downtown Seattle. This new contemporary mixed-use development is set to feature 290 rental homes along with 7,500 square feet designated for retail. It is strategically situated within the emerging South Sound region, about 15 miles from Tacoma, making it an attractive option for future residents. The first move-ins are anticipated for the summer of 2027.
Meredith Holzemer, Managing Director of Development in Seattle for Mill Creek Residential, emphasized the community's prime location. It offers residents access to the newly opened Star Lake light rail station, enabling convenient transportation to key employment centers within the region. "Modera Woodmont Beach presents a unique living experience with high-caliber finishes, spacious home layouts, and a modern design aesthetic that is sure to appeal to prospective residents," said Holzemer.
Located at 26915 Pacific Highway S., this mid-rise community is conveniently just a mile away from Woodmont Park. The park features scenic forested trails and beach access, providing a perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. Moreover, the nearby Saltwater State Park and the Des Moines Waterfront amplify the recreational offerings available to residents. With easy access to Interstate 5, commuting to the greater Seattle area becomes seamless. Additionally, the region is well-served by multiple bus routes and a new stop on the Link Light Rail, connecting locals to the region's bustling tech-centric job market.
Modera Woodmont Beach will cater to a variety of living arrangements with one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes designed with various layouts to suit different lifestyles. The community's amenities will include a resort-style swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor deck, grilling area, outdoor dining spaces, and a clubhouse equipped with a coffee bar. Families will benefit from a children’s playground, while fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the club-quality fitness studio.
Modern conveniences extend to a coworking lounge featuring private workstations, package storage for residents, and gated parking complete with electric vehicle charging stations. The development is oriented towards sustainability and is pursuing NGBS Bronze certification.
Within the homes, features such as air conditioning, wood-style plank flooring, premium stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry are included. Spacious closets and in-home washers and dryers provide additional convenience. Homes also include enhanced security measures like key fob access and programmable thermostats. For those seeking even greater luxury, select units will feature private patios or balconies, chef's islands with storage, and stylish pendant lighting. Bathrooms are designed for relaxation, featuring modern quartz countertops and backlit mirrors.
