The couple behind the $50 million Resort at Hansen Park project have closed a deal for a 9.2-acre site that will host a future phase.

Hansen Park Development Phase 2 LLC, helmed by Vancouver developers Carmen Villarma and Dennis Pavlina, paid $2.2 million for the property at 814 S. Columbia Center Blvd., near 10th Avenue. VHP Kennewick Investments LLC, led by Richard Vandervert of Spokane, was the seller.

The husband-and-wife couple have built several projects in the Tri-Cities, but are raising their profile with the ambitious Resort at Hansen Park.

The initial phase is under construction and will have a new office center and 225 units of rental housing in three distinct sections – a series of triplexes, a traditional garden-style complex and an urban-style midrise building.

Trilogy, the triplex project, is being built now along the western edge of the property and will have nine three-bedroom units and eight two-bedroom ones leasing for $1,725 to $2,100 per month in early 2022.

Hansen Park applied for permits for the $12.8 million Park Avenue work in December. The 100,000-square-foot building will have apartments on three floors with rentable commercial space and parking at ground level.

The second phase will add Club 10, a three-story clubhouse and additional apartment developments, as well as commercial buildings.
