Never tell your friends to stay at the Kings Inn.

Oh my!! lol

The facade materials, colors, modulation, etc. is looking really good especially for such a long block. Typical Pine Street Group quality.

Agreed! Around the corner on Lenora it's more colorful but it looks good- not like the ugly color messes in Belltown.

It always amazes me that buildings don't have to be very far up in their construction before cladding begins. I know this is the most efficient use of time, but it must be challenging keeping workers from stepping on each others toes.

Wow... I love how I'm off at college for a few months at a time so every time I come back the city will look different!

I used to love that too. I felt like I had to do specific walking yours when I came back just to catch up and see it all!

Too bad it isn't 25 floors of corrugated metal.

I like how these twin towers frame the Darth Vader building.

LCIII · May 4th, 2012, 11:53 PM

Hopefully for only a few years tops. Id like to see them framing the 440' Cinema Tower residential building that will be just east of the Darth Vader building.

Subterranean Alien · May 5th, 2012, 07:14 AM

I'd like to see the vader building completely disappear behind the new projects...

CrazyAboutCities · May 5th, 2012, 04:53 PM

Awesome updates! I love the shape of Vader building but hope it will reclad to make it looks much futuristic and stand out like it was back in the 70's.

The list of buildings that need to be reclad in Seattle is long and the Darth Vader building is at the bottom, if it's even on the list.

^ Friends from Texas think it's a "cute little Penzoil building in seattle."

I've heard the comparison many times before and sure if you put them side by side you should definitely see it but there are a lot of differences too.
