hmm interesting, but the rendering seems very preliminary:

i didn't know that buildings that high could be built that far north and east.


EDIT: nevermind, it isn't THAT far north and east of the core.

Hmmmmm I don’t really know what to say about the rendering. I only count 12 floors on it. Sound good though, at least for that neighborhood.

Well, the lot directly to the south (the square to the left of this building) is where the developers of the European tower want to put a 40 story european style building in. That ought to be a nice entry into downtown from the Freeway.

^ How can a 40-story building be "european style"? What does that mean?

 

[jerai82]

yeah, what exactly is meant by "European Style"? very curious...

 

[seapug]

....

well since it's by the same people doing the european tower in bellevue he probably means really skinny. the european tower in bellevue is only going to have one unit per floor. maybe like 2-3 units a floor. i know the thing says 12th and denny, but on ssp someone said it was actually 1221 denny witch would put it on fairview and denny and not make it two randon highrises on capital hill

FINALLY! Many times I rode bus #8 to Capital Hill or go to Belltown from Capital Hill, I pass that lot. I always wonder when will any developer buy that lot and develop it. I'm very happy that it will get developed soon. The rendering is alright but I know that they will come up with better renderings soon. I'm very happy that downtown Seattle area are still in process for redevelopment or infill in the vancant lots or parking lots lately.

Fairview and Denny makes a lot more sense.

By the way, has anyone noticed the tiny little triangel lot at Denny and Stewart (used to be a bus stop)? They have planted a lone palm tree there flanked by some very modern art.

Just strange I thought.

Is the 40 story site on the NW corner of the intersection?
A building that tall in that spot will really alter the skyline view from I5 and Cap Hill.
The tropical island at Denny and Stewart is kind of campy. Pity it is not across from a gay bar anymore. All it needs now is a pink flamingo.

Lone palm tree? Damn Seattle sure changed alot within just one week since I am gone just for one week! Can't wait to get back and check it out!

Perhaps it's the major Belltown/Denny park that was promised.

I'm very eager to see this area get cleaned up. Just up the block on Denny will be the Mirabella project. This leaves a gap where the ugly-ass Greyhound bus barn is and a surface lot. Actually there a lot of surface lots in this area.

 

[CrazyAboutCities]

^^ I agree completely with you! I always thinking about it everytime I ride Bus 8 on Denny to the Capital Hill like when will the developers come in and invade the lots and ugly buildings at that area for redevelopments. I'm very happy that is happening now. :banana:

 

[Capitol Hill]

Okay, I get it with the asterisks, it's ***** ****'s.

Ba Dum dum.

Okay what I meant by Eurostyle, is that its a significantly smaller footprint than most 40 story towers would have. There was an article that I read about the European ***** in Bellevue, and they said in there that this was going to be 40 stories, but during the next development cycle.

Also, regarding that palm tree, take a look here,

That explains what its all about.

 

[CityView Jim]

Thanks for the article.

But, I worry about the little tree. It's too short at this time and I'm afraid the hooligans (did I really use that word) are going to rip its fronds off before it gets a chance.

I'm so negative.

 

[CrazyAboutCities]

Not bad... I think it should get taller palm tree instead little one...
