You're trying to figure out an algebra equation with too many variables. Can't be done. On the other hand, news reports in 2007 talked about a building around 520' if I remember.

mSeattle · #**1562** Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 5:18 AM**

Yea, I realized that. I did want to guesstimate on purportions though.

The one full-building rendering I've seen makes what I presumed the resident portion look something like a smoke stack in comparable size to the lower part of the building.

Also, is the two-building plan new? Do they get to build taller by technically having two buildings, one built above another 42fl + 3fl? Or am I reading it wrong?

My understanding is that there will be two different buildings - a three story one and a 42 story one.

I think the rendering you're talking about is consistent with the design concept - I don't know if it's changed substantially since the rendering came out.

Added 5th and Madison, 40 floor office tower, to the Proposals section on the first page--as well as more 5th and Columbia renderings and a couple of other projects.

mSeattle · #**1565** Posted **Apr 15, 2008, 6:52 PM**

Thanks for keeping us updated from Shanghai.

There are some other u/c or proposed projects that could join the list:

**Under Construction**
Mirabella (across Denny from the twin tower proposal)
Harborview Expansion II

**Proposed**
Civic Center Square

A few others don't have renderings yet:

51-floor convention hotel (Greyhound station site)
39-floor tower across from AVA/Paramount
22-floor building next to and just south of 1521.

BTW, I'm not too impressed with either Civic Center or 5th & Madison office tower. But they're good infill.

I noticed a flatbed truck with a bulldozer on it at the Insignia site yesterday. Couldn't really tell if it was for that project or something else.

mhays · #**1568** Posted **Apr 15, 2008, 9:09 PM**

I noticed a pickup with wood pallets parked oddly on Saturday. Yours sounds more promising than mine.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the renderings before I add them...as well as a better Civic Center rendering.

However, I'll get on Mirabella and Harborview II...might as well throw in the Trophy Tower for good measure.

*EDIT*

I can never find this stuff when I'm looking for it. Anybody have a decent link with renderings/info for Mirabella and Harborview Expansion II?

mSeattle · #**1570** Posted **Apr 16, 2008, 8:25 AM**

I could find only a small rendering of Harborview:

Mirabella

Thanks.

Btw, the sexy thing in front of 1918 Viriginia, is it dead--or should I add it?

WESTSEATTLEGUY · #**1572** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 4:19 AM**

According to some people at SSC it has been downgraded to a smaller 14 story office tower.

JiminyCricket II · #**1573** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 7:41 PM**

nm...

Aleks · #**1574** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 11:10 PM**

Great, hadn't heard about the I.D. or Trophy buildings. I like the ID Building but the Trophy towers seems a little... Renderings for Civic Square are out now.

mSeattle · #**1575** Posted **Apr 18, 2008, 1:00 AM**

Does the same person/company own all the other three sites on the Cosmo block?

WESTSEATTLEGUY · #**1576** Posted **Apr 18, 2008, 1:17 AM**

^Yep. And for the Watermark Credit Union they are building a 14 story office tower and conference meeting place. Hopefully with some retail added in too.

mSeattle · #**1577** Posted **Apr 18, 2008, 2:42 AM**

So did they get the height increase they applied for on 818? I think is was going from 11-14 or from 14-17. Either way, Cosmo will be hedged in from the west and south.

BTW, it looks like rebar is above ground on the apartment project next to the Lutheran church.

You got your wish, 10k sq ft of retail.

WESTSEATTLEGUY · #**1579** Posted **Apr 18, 2008, 4:46 AM**

^Well I hope it's more then a Westlake Center Food Court type of deal for the Business people around and more of a Pacfic Place type thing, where you can shop and dine.

OK Anton/Bob/Zombie, I made some formatting changes to the front page.

Yes I am anal retentive, but I don't care what you think.

It just looks neater this way.

Here's the format . . .

{size=4}{b}{u}Name of Project{/u}{/b}{/size}
{url}Project website, if any{/url}
*1 space*
{img}picture 1{/img}{img}picture 2{/img}
*1st space*
*2nd space*
. . . then repeat above format for the next project

3 spaces should appear between each sub-section - completed, U/C, proposed. If it's possible to put multiple pictures on one line, you should try to do that. Also, if you do that, taller pictures should go before/in front of shorter pictures. Just looks better that way. But for projects like the Heron/Pagoda Towers which have a ton of pics, that might be a bit of work, so it's not a hard-and-fast rule.
