A third tower at the same height (all 425-440' or so) is the one shown in the gray in the March rendering. This broke ground a few weeks ago and they're now putting in what appear to be steel soldier piles. Another similar tower could be close to starting (needs a land use permit) at 970 Denny. Along with the existing stuff this could be a nice activity zone soon. A ton more is planned but even before those it could be pretty busy.
Long ago I realized that even a 400-unit tower doesn't make a neighborhood much busier on its own. But do a cluster of them, plus existing stuff (other housing, art college, Whole Foods, offices, hotel, etc.) and you should get real activity.
Quite a few more similar towers are proposed around 440' within a few blocks of these. And more big Amazons and other offices. It could be epic in a few years.
