Sorry, I couldn't pass up a happy hour invite yesterday. Without further ado...
Highlights from Thursday's DPD bulletin (sorry, no photos this week):
Downtown: 1903 5th Ave
46 stories, 175 hotel, 190 condos, retail, 250 underground parking.
Urbnlivn reported the DJC article on this mega-tower (which suggests it might be built in the next development cycle), but did anyone follow up on the architect's website? Check it out. Is Seattle going to get itself a NY-style tower? Whether you like those designs (Time Warner Center!- !!!) or not, this is going to be a standout tower. Wild speculation: If this actually gets built, you're going to hear a lot about it, not only because there will be absolutely nothing else like it in Seattle, but it's going to be Seattle's best. Oh, and expect some belly-aching from "Old Seattle" Seattleites about this NY-attitude development.
Downtown: 810 Western Ave
12-stories, office over ground retail, 185 parking spaces.
Colman Center will be updating its design. This is the render you've seen previously. Colman Center was actually presented as a test case in one of the Green Factor presentations, which showed all the terraces covered with green roofs (PDF, slides 123-128).
Lower Queen Anne: 100 Republican St
6 stories, 228 apartments, 17 live/work, 155 parking spaces.
Remember last week's update? 147 live/work units should have set something off. How would you fit 147 live/work units around the ground floor exterior? You can't. It's really just 17 units. That leaves 138 parking spaces for 228 apartments.
