Following land sale, Alliance plans 285 Tukwila units
Mar 3 2023, DJC
A doomed old Tukwila office building at 130 Andover Park E. recently sold for $8.6 million, according to King County records. The buyer was CRP/AR Prose Southcenter Owner LLC, which is associated with regular partners Carlyle Group and Alliance Residential. The property is a little west of the Green River, and east of Westfield Southcenter.”
“The project achieved an 80% energy reduction from the Architecture 2030 Challenge baseline, a voluntary program for design firms to track and report project energy reduction with the goal of having their entire portfolio achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. This exceeded an initial target of 70%.”
“New state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms and collaboration spaces augment current College of Science and Engineering facilities. The 110,000-square-foot building is home to Biology, Chemistry and Computer Science. In addition to lab spaces, the Sinegal Center offers the Billodue Makerspace, the Convergence Zone cafe by Microsoft, Oberto Commons and the Amazon Computer Science Project Center.”

Mar 14 2023, DJC
“Bosa Development abruptly stopped working last summer on its full-block condominium project in downtown Seattle. That high-rise plan remains a partially excavated pit. Now, over in Bellevue, there are new signs of life for its comparatively smaller 21-story, 142-unit condo project at 201 Bellevue Way N.E. That’s immediately east of Bellevue Downtown Park.”

Howard S. Wright to build Trammell Crow life-science project
Mar 28 2023, DJC
“On a corner site in the Denny Triangle that it doesn’t yet own, Trammell Crow has been contemplating two different buildings: apartments or life science. The latest city filings at 901 Lenora St. show more progress on the latter, and the general contractor is now listed as Howard S. Wright (a Balfour Beatty Co.)”
“Ahead of tonight’s opening day game, the Seattle Mariners will debut a new indoor/outdoor events space across the street from T-Mobile Park at 1201 First Ave. S. The 9,500-square-foot venue, called Victory Hall, was announced in February and is located inside a historic warehouse that the team is developing into an entertainment and dining destination called The Boxyard. The warehouse was last occupied by Pyramid Brewery, which vacated in spring 2020.”
