Burien-based F&M Development is the property manager for the complex. According to the firm’s website, “The rehabilitation of Parkside Apartments has been an integral part of cleansing the Everett multi-family submarket off of Casino Road.” The rehabilitation utilized the 221 (d) 4 program for the rehab and permanent financing as well as tax exempt bond proceeds and 4 percent low income housing tax credits. “At the time of the loan closing, Parkside Apartments was deemed one of the most complicated financing packages HUD had ever dealt with which required FHA to enhance the bonds, a “non recourse” construction period and Section 236 IRP “Decoupling,” according to F&M Development’s website.
