Highlights from yesterday's DPD bulletin (sorry, no photos this week):
Note that the DPD site will be down 06/02/07 from 6am to 2pm.
Lower Queen Anne: 300 3rd Ave W (NE corner)
7 stories, 195 apartments, 7 live/work, min. retail, 250 parking spaces.
The only thing I could find about this project specifically is that the developer is R.C. Hedreen Co., developer of the Olive 8.
Lower Queen Anne: 225 Roy St (South side)
2 stories, 29,000 sq. ft. performing arts theater, no parking.
Theatro Zinzanni's new digs is going through a second design review. I can't find the architect, Stephen Quinn.
Capitol Hill: 1531 Broadway (NE corner)
Walgreens Signage Special Exception
"Two additional projecting signs at street frontage." (Are these light boxes or just neon signs?) Lodge your complaints by June 13.
Sidewalk cafe applications:
Moxie
Cafe Paloma
Confidential to dave: A drive-by of that U. District office building suggests it's full. No leasing signs and it just looks occupied from two sides.

5/24/2007 DPD Bulletin Highlights
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.

05/17/2007 DPD Bulletin Highlights
Highlights from yesterday's DPD bulletin (sorry, no photos this week):
Lower Queen Anne: 100 Republican St
6 stories, 228 apartments, 147 live/work, 155 parking spaces.
Robert Burkheimer, the same guy that owns the shuttered QFC on Broadway, now has an early design guidance notice on the shuttered QFC in lower Queen Anne (just NW of the Seattle Center). He's asking for a height-limit raise, from 40' to 65' (is this starting to sound familiar yet?) and a possible subterranean alley vacation. (Not as intriguing as it sounds.) I'm going to speculate wildly here (honestly, this is speculation): The 147 live/work units are only because he's trying to avoid having to put in any retail at ground floor, and the less than 1:1 ratio of parking spaces to units guarantees that these will be apartment units, not condos. (If this gets built.) I like this a lot. Monthly Monorail passes are $40.
University District: 4501 12th Ave NE
8 stories, 222 hotel rooms over retail and restaurant, underground parking.
This is the vacant space that used to be a natural grocery store (just west is the newish office mid-rise that stood mostly vacant for some time). The architect's page only shows interiors of other projects, including Courtyard by Mariott Bellevue, Hilton Bellevue, Downtown (Seattle) Ramada, and Watertown Hotel. Nothing to speculate here.
