Remmers has applied for new construction on a two-story single family residence. This is a common Everett Custom Homes style. The houses replacing a church on SE 32nd and Lincoln are also two-story single family residences, although they have detached garages rather than tuck-under.

A demolition permit was approved on Nov. 4. As of Nov. 25, the house was still standing. The permit calls for an eight foot perimeter fence to surround the property during excavation.

The lot is located a block north of St. Ignatius School.

Remmers is also affiliated with VWR Development. The Oregonian recently reported that VWR Development has applied for a six-story apartment building in Goose Hollow, on the current site of a 1900 house.
