not too bad for a box. i like the base though.

^^ Agreed, the base is quite nice.

The tower is sleek and clean. Reminds me of the WAMU II recently completed. I like it.

It's probably 150' above sea level, and from Elliott Bay it will appear a little taller than some slightly taller buildings downhill.

nice.

Hard to tell in the renders, but the front facade has a slight curve to it.

Today's DJC stated that the developer plans to start construction on this one next year. I personally hope 5th and Columbia starts sooner, but we'll see!

Has anything about this building changed seeing it was proposed so long ago?

The only thing I can think of is that they changed the north side of the atrium lobby that juts out from the building to be a rotunda instead of boxy.
