It's great to see that stretch of 12th with more mixed-use buldings. No complaints about the design either (considering the fact that it's CHH)

It's ok. I (Seattle) also have a certain je ne sais quois that means I (we) get plenty of attention, and movies are set here even though...how does one say...we're a six pack but two of them are still parking lots.

Any hints of what retail might be moving into there?

mhays · October 29th, 2012, 09:29 PM

Broadway has potential for retail around there, with the hospitals, the university, transit, and one side with high residential density. It's fairly protected because many adjacent blocks won't ever have retail.

The potential seems to be neighborhood conveniences and lunch places.

Here's the latest for 504 Terry (at Jefferson). Not bad, but a little Bellevuey. Warning: bigger file:

Ooh, I love it! First Hill needs a dozen more of these. Only problem is that it's still surrounded by surface parking on that block. I'd live there though...

It looks really good! How tall is it?

This project looks better and better to me each step of the way.

Nice looking project. I'm glad WeberThompson isn't using their typical arcs of glass (they sound nice but they get boring for me as a formula).

That strip of parking along Boren is really weird but it is owned by the same people who own the rest of the block. Maybe when the rest of the block is developed this parcel will be counted for open space as I can't see it even being a garage ramp being so close to the intersection.

Property records show this building was once owned by Michael Mastro (fugitive recently arrested in France).

Good design, definitely above average. Still quite boxy and blue but they've done it well. Bring it on!

Some months ago these were sitting on the street on First Hill. Were these for upgrading the sewage or maybe to put power lines underground?

I think this is for streetcar work:

Another First Hill tower for Alecta
By JOURNAL STAFF

The Swedish pension fund management company Alecta is getting ready to build another apartment tower on First Hill. This 240-foot building is planned for a site at 800 Columbia St.

A 22- or 23-story tower would sit on a three-level podium, according to permit records. There will be 275 to 300 units and four levels of underground parking.

The site is on the western side of the block bounded by Marion and Columbia streets, and Eighth and Ninth avenues. Alecta bought three quarters of the half-block for $7.9 million in 2012, property records show. The site now is occupied by parking lots and a vacant building.

The Clarwood apartments are on the northwest corner, which Alecta does not own.

Alecta proposed several apartment towers on First Hill in the last year. It plans a 26-story, 329-unit building at Terry Avenue and Jefferson Street, and a 24-story, 214-unit complex at Boylston Avenue and Seneca Street.

Weber Thompson is the architect on all three of Alecta's projects.

An early design guidance meeting for the 800 Columbia project is tentatively scheduled for 6:30 p.m. March 6 at Seattle University, 901 12th Ave.

Alecta manages approximately $74 billion and has been targeting urban infill sites in global gateway cities.

What is there now, you ask?

We've got all the infill sites you need, c'mon down!

LCIII · January 8th, 2013, 10:59 PM

It'll be more exciting once they real ground on even just one of the three projects. Hopefully they aren't like Urban Visions and nothing comes from all these plans.

alexjonlin · January 9th, 2013, 09:01 AM

Lol that $74 billion figure would seem to dispel concerns that they just make plans and don't actually develop. Have any of those projects released a projected groundbreaking date?
