The planned project, with a scheduled delivery in 2019, is a Class A office tower with approximately 725,000 square feet of leasable space featuring an active ground floor experience comprised of unique and accessible retail shops, restaurants and public spaces. The preliminary design creates a network of pedestrian passages traversing the block at street level through a forest-like base, while the tower above provides weather protection similar to the warmth and comfort of a tree canopy. The new tower will join the cultural and financial core of downtown Seattle with the new waterfront.
The project is pre-certified LEED Gold by the USGBC.
