Seattle Development News Thread

^^ The Avalon Madison building has been on hold with a foundation already in place for 2 years now, the vines and all that are growing on the alley area of the project. They removed the crane and left it behind for a long time. I wonder if they will return and complete the project, it's been a while and looks empty with a big hole in the ground.

The 2 Union Square could be blocked for the most part, and the 608 ft tall WA-mu tower would be probably a bit lower than the Space needle in the skyline, because I think the elevation where the wa-mu tower is built is lower than the elevation where Space Needle is, which is at 175 ft elevation. I can't wait to see the completed Wa-mu tower to the skyline by 2006.

Major re-development area in Southeast Seattle...

Here's the link for all the information u need, about new homes/townhouses. I have drove past the area, it looks really nice! There's been doing so much construction on MLK way where light rail will run on the median.

Hey guys, the 5th and Yelser status on emporis.com (skyscrapers.com) it says it's never built. They haven't updated about that new building under contstruction, there are a heap load of buildings under contstruction and it's going crazy!

Also, add to this...Seattle also wanted a monorail system in the 1900 ish, but they failed....Germany was the first country in the world to have a system wide monorail, it is upside down with overbuilt tracks and beams. It still in operation and it's over 100 years old. It goes up to 35 miles per hour. I'm suprised it still runs, lol.

^It's not u/c. They are waiting for an office tenant before beginning construction.

BTW sequoias, if your list in your sig is based on emporis.com, it's not correct, they don't even list the Cosmopolitan(formerly Century Tower) as under construction, when in fact the crane is already up there. They made such a big deal about cristalla being constructed, but they wont even give the cosmo any ink, and it's 100 feet taller!

You misread, I said the 2200 Westlake is U/C, not the 2201. I do already know about emporis, they haven't updated in weeks and they are money robbing thieves with out of date data.

I saw a proposal sign on Cherry and 8th Ave. in First Hill, it says a 2 tower would be 21 stories with 199 units of apartments and some units of hospital space, I'm not sure. I don't have the picture or details about it, it's just what I saw. It would border 8th and 9th Ave along Cherry Street where about 58 units of apartments will be demolished, along with parking spaces.

guess what???? In First Hill neighborhood (east of Downtown Seatlte) Avalon @ Madison is RESUMED! They cleared out the overgrowth of vines on the fence and the gaping hole of the site on 8th and Madison St. They have new fences on the parrell parking for the equipment, it looks clean after all the mess of vines was cleared. It's a 15 story condo tower with retail level at the ground. It was dead since 2001 and finally resumed!

wow! Check Emporis.com on Bellevue, they updated! They have 6 buildings under construction, and a bunch approved: 450 ft tall tower City center II, 430 ft tall towers (2 of them), etc... and the Technology Tower under construction which is 295 ft tall. Bellevue is going to be pretty dense with all those tall skyscrapers. I think they will raise the height limit to 500+ feet in the near future as the current limit is 450 ft.
