New housing, mixed-use projects in the Puyallup area

The Puyallup area is undergoing significant transformation driven by a surge in urban development and housing projects. Major initiatives include mixed-use complexes like the Dhaliwal TC Landing in Edgewood and a $40 million mixed-used development in downtown Puyallup that will include a brewery.

The city has a state-mandated target to add more than 7,400 units by 2044. Local tax incentives are meant to create opportunities for affordable units within high-density, market-rate developments.

An open house and public hearing are planned before city staff go before the council again.
