[Bellevue] Bellevue Towers | 450 feet | 42 & 43 floors | U/C

[crow]

Bellevue, Washington
i am trying to post a couple images of a pair of condo towers going up in Bellevue Washington, commencing next year.

Over 500 units, 42/43 stories tall mixed use development. 450 feet tall each.

project design by GBD Architects and Mulvanny G2
GBD has been developing the tower design schematics, and Mulvanny has been working on the Podium design schematics - together the architects are doing the project as a joint venture.

There you go.

I like it....kinda looks like Lincoln Square but not as wide. These should make a huge impact on the skyline.

I'm trying to figure out where this is.

[James Bond Agent 007]

Oh wait - isn't this where the Puget Power building is now?

[crow]

yes it is at the old PSE building at the corner of 4th street NE, and 106th street NE.

Yay, finally a picture.

If that happens, one of these days I'm going to start actually liking Bellevue. The skyline is one benefit. Another is the dose of energy that 500 units and a whatever little retail would provide. Most of all, it would help tie neighborhoods together.

These would be the tallest all-residential towers in the entire Northwest, maybe even the West Coast (Don't know about California). Although the Koin Tower in Portland has some condos on top, doesn't it?

^but that's not all-residential. good looking towers.

This project is being developed by Gerding/Edlen from Portland who's worked on several Pearl District and SoWa projects. Hopefully they'll become active in the Puget Sound as well.

Crow, you seem to have a lot of info about this project, any word on the timetable?

Yeah I know, but I was thinking in terms of highest homes.

it is a Gerding/Edlen project. The developer and architects are trying to find some value in a new market by bringing some of the lessons learned from SOWA, and the Brewery Blocks to the pedestrian in Bellevue. About 13000 sf of retail - hopefully dining.

The project will be in for design review at the end of this month, and it begins construction at the beginning of the year.

i think the seattle / bellevue market is pretty hot right now = hopefully Gerding/Edlen will be looking for other properties. i will try to get some other images to post.

Even still, these two towers would only be as tall as the homes in Licoln Square. LS is 450 feet too, isn't it?

But the Koin Tower in Portland is 500 feet and has penthouses, doesn't it?

[MarkDaMan]

509 feet - that's news to me...I didn't realize it was a 500 footer...

and yes, there are several multimillion $$$ penthouses there...everything above the first "taper" is condo...

[destroybananas]

That's it, I"m staying in Bellevue!

[crow]

i believe koin is only 440.
