Anyone go to the design review today?

BellevueBoy · December 11th, 2008, 11:45 PM

New rendering in the DJC today.

WOW!!! Very impressive rendering! After reading this article, that gives us some hopes that we will able see new additional to Seattle skyline during tight market.

bgwah · December 12th, 2008, 12:59 AM

somehow I don't think it's going to look anything like that when built...

WESTSEATTLEGUY · December 14th, 2008, 12:30 AM

^Ha true. But beautiful rendering nonetheless.

Rogue Linguist · December 15th, 2008, 10:35 PM

I'm sure I'll be directed somewhere else where the answer lies after asking this, but . . .

Where is the second tower? Wasn't this project originally going to consist of twin towers?

blackc5 · December 15th, 2008, 10:45 PM

Not really. It was just two projects by the same developer on either side of Virginia (the other being where the parking lot is, just S of Cristalla). I think the other is going through design review also.

That what I thought. I think it will be done in phases... I dunno.

Oh, okay. I just remember the two buildings looking very similar, which is all right since it creates coherency (although diversity is nice, too); I hope the second tower across the street makes it through design review without being watered down into another dull, taupe Seattle box.

This thing is incredibly sexy. I hope it gets built.

LCIII · October 4th, 2011, 05:59 PM

Does anyone know anything sort of definitive about the status of these two? It's been a while since this thread was updated and it sort of dwindled out without any major announcement one way or another.

Edit:
As you can see both towers are still listed on their website with dates 'TBD.'

Autoreply from Bouldergrad: On hold until the economy recovers

LCIII · October 4th, 2011, 07:27 PM

Are we just saying that about buildings we aren't sure about or was there an actual statement from someone involved in the project that confirms that?

You'll find that if there actually is news popping up about these kinds of projects, the DJC or Seattle Times, or posters on this board will be screaming it from the hills. If you haven't heard any news, thats probably cus their isn't any news to report.

LCIII · October 5th, 2011, 09:33 AM

Yah I didn't ask what the local news sources are. I'm fully aware of the outlets you listed. I asked about the current status. If the status is 'on hold' is the paper going to be reporting it periodically? No. I merely was curious if anyone knew anything about them since the thread just went quiet without anything solid or official reported.

I think Boulder was trying to be nice and say that no news = no news. Not digging the aggressive tones of your recent posts - let's just relax.

I'll do me, you do you. I'm not digging the sarcastic tone of his post. I'm well aware of the local news outlets and didn't need them listed for me. What is it you guys don't understand about the question of it's current status? More likely than not a new news article about the project would be about a change in it's status not it's current status. I'm curious about the LAST news to come out or the last rumblings not the next news. Why is that so hard to understand?

AzChristopher · October 5th, 2011, 05:04 PM

The last news on this project.

http://www.djc.com/news/re/12001016.html

If anything else comes up, people on this board are good at finding it.

LCIII · October 5th, 2011, 08:04 PM

Thanks, I've read that one before. I really do hope they wake at least one of these two up because their impact on the skyline would be dramatic. I'd love to see Downtown stretched towards Belltown and the Needle.

Justen is barely clearing a profit on 1521, many years after they started working on the design. They barely survived thru the economic hell of 2008-2010 having to sell 1521 condos one by one over years, instead of pre-sales as they had anticipated. He's lucky he escaped without a bankruptcy, unlike Opus Northwest. I doubt he is clamoring for a chance to do that all over again.

I'd say this project is dead.
