The City of Redmond invites the community to attend the official ribbon cutting for its new Public Safety Facility, located at 111 NW Teak Avenue. The ceremony begins at 10am, Tuesday, August 12, 2025. The new, $49 million, 42,000-square-foot, two-story building was designed to provide the department with the ability to better meet current and future public safety needs for Redmond. The new facility is slated to open and be fully operational by August 25, 2025.
“This project was made possible in 2022, by a $40M voter-approved bond. We now have a facility that matches the quality of our Police Department. We are grateful for the support we received from the community to make this project possible,” states Redmond Police Chief Devin Lewis.
The new building features: more privacy for crime victims to meet with officers, high visibility location in the parking lot for custody exchanges and marketplace transactions, as well as a facility built to incorporate modern technology to help with police work and investigations. The project also includes an emergency operations center and training room.
“I am happy for the police and appreciative of the community for making this project become a reality. The staff and construction team delivered this new police station on time and more than $2M under budget,” shared Mayor Ed Fitch. “This is just one more opportunity to demonstrate that our residents can take pride in living in this city.”
Construction of the building is aligned to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) specifications, including electrical vehicle charging stations both in the visitors and staff parking areas and solar panels on the roof of the building.
The new Public Safety Facility was designed by FFA Architecture and Interiors, Inc., and constructed by Pence Construction. “We design each project to reflect the specific needs and values of the communities we serve,” remarks Ian Gelbrich of FFA Architecture & Interiors. “Through many conversations with Redmond PD staff, we heard a clear sense of pride in their work, strength in their team and deep commitment to their city. These values directly informed the design of the new facility. While the building is highly functional and supports the efficiency of the work they do, we also placed special emphasis on the spaces where people come together.”
Tours of the new facility will be conducted following the ceremony.
