When the Port of Everett recently announced the first phase of its 65-acre, $373 million Waterfront Place Central project, the developer of two planned four-story apartment buildings was identified as American Classic Homes.

American Classic Homes is a family-owned Mercer Island company, run by partners Michael Gladstein, Robert Gladstein and Joel Mezistrano, and now it has launched a new multifamily brand for the Everett project and others: SeaLevel Properties.
