Former Pegasus Pizza bldg. to be replaced

The former Pegasus Pizza at 2758 Alki Avenue S.W. is set to be torn down in the next 7 to 10 days to be replaced by a new single story brick building, similar in character to the building adjacent, now occupied by Starbucks. The project will start in the middle of August and be finished within 75 days.

Owner Tom Karvouniaris said he will be seeking restaurants or other suitable tenants. Why single story when the area is zoned for a higher structure? "I can't afford it," he said laughing.

The new building will be just over 3600 square feet, room enough for two to three tenants. Karvouniaris said he will refinish the parking area
behind the building and will have room for 11 vehicles.

CBI Contractors, who have done other structures in West Seattle is handling the work. More ›
