Pulte Homes has purchased land for the development of 70 townhomes in the Issaquah Highlands master plan. The homebuilder purchased the land from Port Blakely Communities in late December and plans to begin sales this fall.

“We have been looking for the right location and time to expand locally”, said John Ochsner, division president for the Pacific Northwest, “and this is an excellent opportunity for us to do so.”

The new Pulte Homes neighborhood, which will be called Sunset Walk, is located adjacent to Sunset Park and the planned High Street retail. The greater community’s 1,500 acres of parks, open space, trails and mixed use areas will soon be joined by a new Swedish hospital and medical center.

Sunset Walk by Pulte Homes will feature five two and three-story townhome plan options ranging in size from 1460 to 2054 square feet, Anderson said. The homes will be 4-Star Built Green and each home Energy Star certified.

Sunset Walk is Pulte’s first community in Issaquah.
