38-story tower proposed at Second and Stewart

Developers have approached Seattle city planners about building a 38-story tower downtown at Second Avenue and Stewart Street.

The lower floors of the 440-foot tower would be a hotel and the top 27 floors would have 367 apartments or condos, according to a thumbnail description submitted to the Department of Planning and Development. The project also would have five levels of underground parking.

No permit applications have been filed yet, a department spokesman said, so no additional details are available. Contacts listed for the project did not return calls seeking more information.

The two-story, retail-and-office MJA Building has stood on the site since 1914. Iowa-based insurance and financial-services giant Principal Financial Group bought it and the neighboring, 10-story Broadacres Building from Seattle's Alhadeff family in 2007.

It's not clear whether the Broadacres site is included in the tower proposal.

Odd that the writer missed three proposals of similar height on neighboring blocks along Second Ave.
