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.
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.
The long-awaited Gridiron condo building has finally opened on the cusp of Pioneer Square and Sodo, right across from Centurylink Field. The project preserves the historic Seattle Plumbing Company building, constructed in a triangle shape popular at the time of its construction in 1903, adding several steel-and-glass stories above for a total of 11 floors
Daniels Real Estate has delivered something that no developer has done before, by including moderate-income condominium homes in a high-end, new-construction, market-rate residential building.
Located in historic Pioneer’s Square, the Gridiron has dozens of units that will be sold as affordable housing with purchase prices restricted by income.
Completed in 2023, 1400 Madison is Seattle’s first affordable high-rise in over 50 years. This high-density building adds 365 affordable housing units to Seattle’s growing First Hill neighborhood.
This 170’ residential tower on First Hill is a joint venture with Bellwether Housing and Plymouth Housing. Bellwether creates stable communities through affordable housing, while Plymouth provides permanent homes and support for adults experiencing homelessness. Together, they have combined resources to build their first high-rise building in this dense neighborhood in the heart of Seattle.
Located on a tight corner property, the ground level focuses on graceful lobby entries and a retail terrace. Since there are two separate sets of residents, great attention was paid to balancing different programmatic needs among 3 roof terraces. The lower terrace incorporates tenant garden plots while using bioretention and other raised platforms to ensure privacy for adjacent units. The middle terrace incorporates structured and free play space for children and families. The upper terrace provides flexible gathering space, both cover and open-sky, to allow for expanded use the adjoining amenity room and access to the open views to all cardinal directions.
