The Emerald, Seattle’s highly-anticipated luxury condominium building one block from Pike Place Market and the Puget Sounds’ soon-to-be renovated waterfront, has released its exquisite penthouse collection made up of 22 masterfully designed two-, three-, and four-bedroom premier residences.
Hewitt’s principal and director of design checks her ego at the door and and views criticism as an opportunity to grow. Julia Nagele watched quietly as throngs of investors and party-goers enjoyed the celebration.
The project’s most striking design feature is the slender rectangular opening between the taller “Mama” tower, as Hewitt dubbed it, and the shorter “Baby” tower. In design materials, Hewitt compared to the opening to the lining of a jacket and said the intent is to “calm the center (of) the project.”
The Emerald, Seattle’s highly anticipated luxury condominium building set above Pike Place Market and the Puget Sound, has officially topped off its faceted-glass building further transforming the city’s iconic waterfront skyline.
It’s officially winter. Time to warm up with some hot properties in three of the world’s great (and chilly) cities—New York, London and Seattle.
CD Heritage is the developer of 888 Bellevue Tower, a 19-story, 158-unit apartment tower under construction at 888 108th Ave. NE. The project is scheduled for completion in October 2019.
Architect Julia Nagele discussed her inspiration for a 45-story tower design near Seattle’s Pike Place Market.
Sound Transit has teamed with developer Gerding Edlen to create a transit-oriented, mixed-income and mixed-use development to surround a new Capitol Hill light rail station in Seattle.
Built on surplus land surrounding the light rail station, the project is being praised as a harbinger of additional equitable transit-oriented development to come in Seattle. It includes 428 apartments, of which 178 will be rented below market-rate. It will have 30,000 square feet of retail space, community event space and a memorial pathway honoring victims of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and ‘90s.
Sound Transit opened the U-Link extension and the new station below Broadway in March 2016. In August 2016, Sound Transit signed a 99-year lease with Gerding Edlen to develop the properties it had acquired surrounding the station. The Portland-based developer is leading the project with designs from Hewitt and Schemata Workshop. Capitol Hill Housing will develop and operate the affordable housing component of the projects in Site-B North.
