needsalife · #1 Posted: **Sep 30, 2006, 6:23 PM**

Here are the new renderings of the Bravern Residences from www.bravernresidences.com

They are still 30 stories each and prices range from $500k-$5 million

Wow, I'm impressed. It looks fresh for this area.

I really like these. They are different for bellevue.

The building on the right from the render somewhat reminds me of a shorter wamu building in terms of the shape of the curves on the sides. This is awesome to have that many towers, and they are grouped to let air in, and to not block to much views either.

OMG!! BEAUTUFIL!!!!! that looks soo good! when does that start construction? Height? floors?! AMAZING!!!

Wow! Those are some of the best looking towers I've seen in awhile. Nice.

Very nice looking.

In most ways it's not good to have large city blocks. But Bellevue is really cashing in on theirs in a good way, with all the multi-tower developments.

great towers, great podium. Im loving the VERY upscale retail complex with the european plaza motif.
Im sort of getting sick of all these twins though. The skyline will look really awkward with two of each tower.

I wonder if people living in these will be able to hear the "Walk sign is on for all crossings" message at the transit center?

Gaaaahhh! I only use that transit center a couple times a year, but that recording drives me crazy! How astonishingly stupid are people? Must we make the whole world uninhabitable just to be PC?

Skian · #11 Posted: **Oct 1, 2006, 5:29 AM**

They are still saying 30 stories? I count high 30's from the drawings.

northface · #12 Posted: **Oct 1, 2006, 6:07 AM**

yeah i got mid-to low 30's in my count.

bgwah · #13 Posted: **Oct 1, 2006, 7:45 AM**

I like them! Still, they'd look better if they were a little taller, into the 40s at least.

Also, did anyone notice? They *almost* have spires!

Sort-of . . .

Yea, those darn blind people. They're so stupid.

Even activists for the blind are sometimes against audible signals. When I was on the Seattle Pedestrian Advisory Board, another board member, a blind lawyer, described this. I think it boiled down to these signals giving a false sense of security.

In any case, the audible signal at the BTC is way, way too loud. I'm sure it's annoying even inside the nearby offices. At night, for anyone trying to sleep, it would be murder.

By saying "people are stupid", I was referring to planners and elected officials.

That's why I'm glad that I'm deaf so I won't be hearing those annoying noises.

#19 Posted: **Oct 1, 2006, 11:28 PM**

Wow, these look much better.

Somebody asked when construction will begin I think.... it already has.

i drove by 20 mins ago.
As mentioned above, its fenced off and there are moving trucks emptying the building/
