Kenmore Town Square and Hangar Community Building grand opening Saturday

The Community is invited to attend the Grand Opening celebration for Town Square and Hangar community building in Kenmore, 6728 NE 181st St.

The new $4.5 million investment includes:

• The 4,700 sq. ft. “Hangar” (named in keeping with Kenmore’s seaplane heritage) is Kenmore’s newest gathering place for casual get-togethers and events. It’s also a great spot for students to do homework and parents to enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon. It features a double-sided fireplace, comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, computer charging stations and a robust audio visual system and a multi-purpose room that can be reserved.
• The newest Diva Espresso café is located inside the Hangar where guests can enjoy coffee, tea, baked goods, beer, wine, sandwiches and more.
• The Town Square is a 12,750 sq. ft. outdoor area surrounding the Hangar. Its features include seating, green space, a water feature, heated, bike racks and a maintenance station plus an electric bike charging station, and other amenities to surprise and delight residents and visitors. 

Most of the funding for this project came from proceeds from the sale of the former Kenmore Village properties slated for redevelopment and a State grant secured by the State Legislature’s 46th District delegation.

This project is the latest in a series of downtown revitalization investments made in Kenmore, fulfilling the City’s economic development plan to make downtown Kenmore a walkable destination.
