Parish Properties Development Project
Posted March 1, 2026
The Holy Trinity Parish Properties Development Update:
The pre-demolition process continues with abatement, then demolition and disposal of the 4 structures. Because of the age of the structures, parts will have to be dismantled by hand. We will try to salvage and re-sell or donate any items and appliances of value. The new timeline for full demolition is for the month of March.
Festival equipment stored at AHEPA Hall has been removed and stored. Two team members, including Father Paul, along with a representative from Everett Construction presented the 12 unit townhome plan to both Kerns and Laurelhurst Neighborhood groups during February. Both groups thanked Holy Trinity for the early notice, indicative of our “good neighbor” relationship. Comments were positive and supportive.
Work continues, under the guidance of the project’s legal counsel, to establish the proper legal structure to enter into the Construction Agreement and purchase insurance. It is anticipated that construction will begin in early summer.
The project will be requiring large cash draws in the coming months. A big thank you to all who made year-end pledge payments, fulfilled their entire pledge and for all new donations to this investment in the future of Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Pledges and new donations can be made at any time.
