2121 Fifth tower adds a story and more hotel rooms thanks to HALA

Tsang Enterprises, the developer proposing a hotel/apartment tower at 2121 Fifth Ave., has filed an application for a master use permit for what has now become an 18-story tower.

At the final design review meeting in January, the plan was for 17 stories, with 136 apartments above 168 hotel rooms, restaurant and retail space, and parking for 120 vehicles on five underground levels, accessed from the alley.

The new proposal — which relies on the pending HALA upzone for Belltown — is for 18 stories, with 136 apartments and parking for 121 vehicles. But an extra floor of hotel space has been added, boosting the total number of hotel rooms to 184.

Before, the building height was capped at 160 feet to avoid triggering the rules on tower separation. The 24-story Martin apartment tower is immediately to the south, and a 41-story hotel/apartment project — formerly known as Potala Tower — is now under construction west across the alley at 2116 Fourth Ave.



Here is the final design for what is now an 18-story tower with 136 apartments and 184 hotel rooms.
