Rainier Square shops come down to make way for Rainier Square tower



Quote:
Rhine Demolition is using four excavators to tear up the old retail spaces in Rainier Square, below the pedestal-based Rainier Tower at 1301 Fifth Ave.

The shops will be replaced by a 58-story building — also called Rainier Square — that will become the centerpiece of Wright Runstad & Co.'s full-block redevelopment.


The iconic 41-story Rainier Tower won't be altered.

The new tower will have 722,000 square feet of office space for Amazon on the lower floors. Floors 41-58 will have 200 luxury apartments, including penthouses on the top two floors.

A sky lobby on the 40th floor will separate the offices and apartments.

The first two levels of Rainier Square will have 79,000 square feet of retail/amenity/fitness space, including an Equinox gym and a 20,000-square-foot organic food market. Parking for 1,000 cars will be on six levels below grade.

A second phase will add a 163-room hotel in a separate 12-story building adjacent to the towers. It will be developed by Wright Runstad and New York-based Related Cos.

The Rainier Square project website shows hotel construction starting in late 2018 and finishing in summer 2020.
