Real estate developer Tarragon announces planned community in South Hill, Washington

Seattle-based development company Tarragon has announced its first master-planned community in the South Hill area of Washington state. The Uplands Community will feature 1,000 homes spread over the 320-acre development, with the first phase of houses ranging from 2000 to 3500 square feet.

Dennis Rattie, president of Tarragon, says the community has been intentionally designed to foster social connection: “Uplands will set a fresh new standard for life in our South Hill location. We have been very intentional, from our community infrastructure to the home designs offered, all to create a better quality of life and social connections for people living here.”

To accomplish this goal, the Uplands development has been designed as a walkable community with almost 25 acres of parks, pickleball courts, pools, and a modern fitness center. The community also includes Overlook Park and The Club at Uplands, a gathering space with a gorgeous view of Mt. Rainier where residents can host events and celebrations.

To build the first 155 houses in the development, Tarragon has partnered with Century Communities, Conner Homes, Lennar, and Richmond American Homes. Rattie explains that these builders were chosen because of their reputation for trustworthiness and dependability, saying, “It is important to us that we work with builders who understand and support our mission to cultivate community wherever we work and deliver high-quality products to our future homeowners. Each one of these builders has seen success in the Pacific Northwest, and we are excited to bring their innovative floor plans to the community.”

Tarragon is known for its multi-family rental communities—including Riverside Park Apartments and Dwell at Kent Station—and Class A industrial and commercial projects. Uplands will mark the company’s first venture into master-planned communities with single-family homes, though future phases of the development will include both smaller homes and rental townhouses. 

Construction of the first phase of homes is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, with sales opening in early 2025.
