Developers look at Living Building for office complex in SLU: 820 Roy
By NAT LEVY
Journal Staff Reporter

Talon Private Capital and Lake Union Partners want their seven-story office project at 820 Roy St. in South Lake Union to be one of the city's greenest.

They are pursuing the city's Living Building Pilot Program for the project, according to documents filed in advance of tonight's design review meeting.

Pat Foley of Lake Union Partners said the team is still talking with the city about the program, so details about that aspect aren't available.

Plans call for 163,000 square feet of office space, 16,000 square feet of retail and 179 underground parking spaces.

By NAT LEVY
Journal Staff Reporter

Officials with the Frye Art Museum would like to create a built-in audience on First Hill, so they are moving ahead with plans to develop two apartment towers on a parking lot at 707 Terry Ave., just west of the museum.

On Thursday the museum announced that it is exploring development with an entity related to Westbank Projects Corp. of Vancouver B.C. The DJC previously reported on Westbank's involvement with the project, which is set for a design review meeting later this month.

Vulcan buys Promenade 23 for $31M and plans to build 570 apartments
By JOURNAL STAFF

Vulcan Real Estate paid $30.9 million for six acres at South Jackson Street and 23rd Avenue South, and plans to build about 570 apartments on part of the site, where Promenade 23 shopping center is located.

The apartments would be on a 3.6-acre parcel on the southeast corner of 23rd and Jackson.

Awesome project. The CD wasn't that sought after in past decades. Now along with other recent/older buildings 23rd & Jackson will have decent critical mass as an urban village node. I love the CD's transformation from being dominated by houses to being more mixed, which should help it say reasonably-priced even as it gentrifies, particularly as buildings age.

Walking loop eyed for First Hill as part of a proposal by Swedish
By LYNN PORTER
Journal Staff Reporter

Residents, workers and patients on Seattle's hospital-heavy First Hill may soon have a better path around the neighborhood.

Swedish Medical Center is proposing to create a walking loop called First Hill Mile near its campus.

The loop is part of a package of public benefits Swedish would give the city in exchange for vacating an alley and allowing it to install a skybridge in connection with two towers the hospital plans to start building late this year.

More: http://www.djc.com/news/ae/12086618.html

[mhays]

The loop sounds good. But the big story is $700,000,000 of hospital construction coming at Swedish. There's a ton of stuff coming on First Hill and this is a big part of it, though rarely talked about.

[mSeattle]

I posted pictures of sign boards I saw on the Swedish First Hill campus but haven't noticed anything on the Shaping Seattle web site.

[mhays]

Here's a start. http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/m...-big-pill.html. The towers don't look very big but they're 240' instead of the 160' or whatever the older towers were built to. Similar to the new Harborview building in scale.

Here's a design presentation about the MOB/support block (which crashed my Explorer, go figure). http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/cityplann...al/s009958.pdf. It also refers to the other block.

Thanks. I clicked the first link and remembered that I had posted an article with that rendering a couple of pages ago. I hate downloading PDFs.
