Stewart Street block is getting filled up
By JOURNAL STAFF
A couple of years from now, Stewart Street between Boren and Terry will look a lot different.
Plans are coming together for Trammell Crow Co.'s 14-story building at the southeast corner of Stewart Street and Terry Avenue.
There will be an early design guidance meeting on the project at 7 p.m. Nov. 5 at City Hall, 600 Fifth Ave.
Touchstone Corp. started construction earlier this year on the Hill7 complex, which will have a 14-story hotel and 11-story office building, on the eastern half of the same block, which is bounded by Stewart, Howell, Terry and Boren. That project is expected to open in 2015.
Trammell Crow's project is at 1007 Stewart St. and will have 210,000 square feet of office space, 15,000 square feet of lobby and amenity space, 8,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, and parking for about 210 cars.
Mike Nelson, senior vice president at Trammell Crow, said no start date has been set.
LMN Architects is designing the project.
The site is now occupied by the 49-unit Williamsburg Apartments, which county records show was constructed a century ago.
Once the Trammell Crow and Touchstone projects are complete, the only building that will be left on the block is a 93,000-square-foot storage building at the northeast corner of Terry and Howell. Seawest Investment Associates of Kirkland and Insignia 2006, a company owned by Leisure Care CEO Dan Madsen, had planned to build a 33-story hotel or housing there, but when the economy tanked they decided to turn the 49-year-old building into heated storage space.
Dallas-based Trammell Crow left the Seattle area in 2008 as the economy slid into recession, but returned a year ago and has been making up for lost time.
The developer has introduced plans for a six-story addition to a medical office building at 1124 Columbia St. on First Hill, a 19-story office tower at 833 108th Ave. N.E. in downtown Bellevue, and a 653,000-square-foot industrial project in Puyallup.
I must say, it's strikingly boring to look at.
The thing I like most about this is building is......nothing. It's really too bad that there's not the slightest bit of reticulation or interest in the facade.
Its almost like they didn't bother with an architect... they just hired an engineer to put together an efficient building to house the drones.
The street front looks ok...just don't go out and look up.

The pic with the view of the three towers looks like a modernist version of Russian stacking dolls.
Did you guys open the packet or just judge it based on the pics posted? The facade actually changes quite a bit from side to side. The detailing isn't groundbreaking but the hyperbolic negative reaction seems unwarranted given what most office buildings look like.
A city also needs background buildings.
Agreed!!A city also needs background buildings.
But some think every building should be special. To those, please don't have children.
I like the first three floors. The ground level with set back and overhang creates a good amount of covered side walk space that could support better sidewalk café type experiences than most any other block in Seattle. The terraces on the 2nd and 3d floors as well as full glass walled conference rooms create private outdoor space with visual connection to street level. The car and pedestrian traffic rarely look higher than 3 levels anyway, so on tower of this still modest height, I don't know that the lack of upper floor architectural flourishes is so significant.

Background buildings don't need to be special, but they don't need to look this bad.Agreed!!

It doesn't look apparent in the photos, but the tower portion uses white and grey concrete for exterior cladding. It's not metal.
Needs palm trees. 
"Nagging Doubt"...

*more cowbell*
I don't think its a bad looking building at all.
Put a giant flower pot statue and some mirrors on the side. Now it's iconic!
Pretty boring actually. After the first few floors that look good, it really just looks like more 818 Stewart kinda..
