We are thrilled to announce that HEWITT and the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) were selected to develop a 12-story building with affordable housing in the University District at 1000 NE 45th St. The building, which will become the tallest in the city made of mass timber, will include public restrooms and an Urban Rest Stop.
Skyglass was profiled in Dezeen, the most visited architecture and design website in the world. In the article, Julia Nagele talks about her design philosophy, saying, “It’s not enough to simply make space. We have to add poetry to the spaces we make and we have to make spaces where people truly want to be.”
On Tuesday Skyglass tower topped out and on Thursday HEWITT celebrated the milestone with Gemdale USA, Venture General Contracting, and the whole team who have worked so hard to bring this project to life!

King County has an intricate web of transportation operations that relies on bus transit to help connect communities to major transit hubs and to each other. A powerful tool in King County Metro’s toolbox is the recent implementation of six bus rapid transit corridors – BRT Lines A-F – that take advantage of transit-only lines to expedite bus operations.
To support King County Metro’s RapidRide initiative, HEWITT designed several prototypical bus shelters with interchangeable alternatives for different stations. Designed for optimal effect across different site conditions, the shelters have common features that help build the RapidRide promise for excellent service, comfort, and ease of use that translates to the entire experience for the commuter—encompassing shelter, waiting areas, signage (including on-street Real Time Signs and smart card readers), and bus exterior and interior details.
Prototype design was based on input from rider focus groups; Metro drivers; the municipalities served by the RapidRide lines; and County facilities staff that assemble and maintain the shelters. Station materials are specified and stocked by King County to minimize costs, installation time and maintenance.
