Merit Homes Announces Two Redmond Acquisitions

Construction Documents and Permit Sets

We are excited to share a significant milestone for Merit Homes: the acquisition of two premier homesites in Redmond, WA. This announcement marks a meaningful step in our company's journey, representing our first expansion into Redmond since our Peterson acquisition in 2021. That home, completed and sold in 2022, set a new standard for our sophisticated Northwest Contemporary design in the area, and we are thrilled to return to Redmond, WA as we look towards popular Eastside neighborhoods where our homeowners want to live. 

These two future projects, Stratton and Allison, provide an opportunity to create our signature Northwest Contemporary, single-family residences in a highly sought-after location and popular neighborhoods. Situated right on the border of Kirkland and Redmond, these homesites offer the unique advantage of being zoned for the popular Lake Washington High School while providing residents with the unparalleled amenities of both communities. We closed on the Stratton property last month and are moving forward on the Allison homesite, solidifying our commitment to these projects and to the home Sellers in the Grass Lawn neighborhood.

The Best of Both Worlds on the Eastside 

For our future residents, these project locations represents the best of both worlds. The homes are positioned to take full advantage of the vibrant and dynamic lifestyles of both Redmond and Kirkland. While the properties are technically located within Redmond’s city limits, they feel intrinsically connected to Kirkland, offering a sense of community and convenience that is difficult to find elsewhere. 

Future homeowners will have immediate access to a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Just a stone's throw away, Marymoor Park offers a vast expanse of green space for sports, concerts, community events and festivals, plus the Velodrome. Luke McRedmond Park for kayak launches,  Sammamish Riverfront Trail for walking the dog, and the expansive Bridle Trails State Park for equestrian and running trails are all within easy reach. The beauty of this location is the seamless integration of both cities’ best features. 

Simultaneously, future homeowners will enjoy the full suite of Kirkland’s top amenities. A short drive away, the Village at Totem Lake provides a premier shopping and dining experience with a modern, walkable village design. Kirkland Urban and the Downtown Kirkland waterfront offer an energetic mix of restaurants, boutique shops, grocery options, and scenic public spaces along Lake Washington. The popular Cross Kirkland Corridor also provide a fantastic set of local trails for walking, jogging, and biking, connecting communities and making the entire Eastside feel more accessible.

Our Signature Design, Two Brand-New Floorplans 

At Merit Homes, we don't just build houses, but instead, we intentionally craft and design homes designed with your lifestyle in mind. Our signature Northwest Contemporary style is defined by a deep appreciation for the PNW region's natural beauty, incorporating clean lines, an abundance of natural light, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. We meticulously design each home to reflect a sophisticated and modern aesthetic while providing warmth, comfort, and luxury. 

Both the Stratton (one home) and Allison (two homes) projects will feature brand-new floorplans specifically designed to maximize space, functionality, and open-concept living. Future residents can expect to see the signature trademarks of a Merit Home: soaring ceilings, expansive windows, high-end materials and finishes, and a focus on creating a layout that is both elegant and functional. Our designs are always inspired by the way people live today, and these new floorplans will continue that tradition with innovative features tailored for the modern Eastside lifestyle.

Partner with Merit Homes: Our Home Acquisition Process 

As we expand our footprint, we are actively searching for new properties for redevelopment throughout Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue. Our acquisition process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free for sellers.  

We purchase homes "as-is," allowing owners to bypass the costly and time-consuming process of renovations, traditional listing prep, and the hassle of staging. We specialize in working directly with Sellers or their Agents, providing a fair and efficient alternative to a traditional listing. We have recently worked with many Sellers who have experienced a variety of situations, including: 

  • Relocating out of town/state and needing to sell quickly 
  • Selling a recently inherited property or family estate 
  • Having another builder walk away 
  • Wanting to sell a home that needs expensive repairs or renovations 

If you are a seller or a real estate agent with a client in a similar situation, we can help. Our team of local Eastside experts can provide a no-obligation consultation to determine if your property is suited for redevelopment. We look forward to being the “easy button” for you!
