Former Gravity Payments office space in Ballard proposed for 23 apartments

A Seattle developer is converting 23,000 square feet of office space in Ballard’s Commons building into 23 apartments through the city’s Office-to-Residential Conversion Program. The former Gravity Payments headquarters at 5621 22nd Ave. NW is undergoing permitting, with construction expected to begin this summer. While this regional housing project reflects broader trends affecting South King County, it’s located in Seattle and doesn’t directly impact Burien residents.
