Design of 44-story tower reflects a recent deal by its future neighbor
Quote:
Two big high-rise projects are planned for the Denny Triangle block bounded by Virginia and Stewart streets and Boren and Minor avenues.
They have separate developers but the same architect, Gensler, making it easier to coordinate their projects.
On the east side of the block, at 1901 Minor, Miami-based developer Crescent Heights successfully went through design review in 2015 and 2016. Its apartment plan has two 40-story towers with an eight-story podium. About 941 units are planned, plus retail and underground parking.
The project has been delayed, because the site hadn't been fully assembled. But after lengthy deliberation, the city of Seattle agreed late last month to sell a surplus former fire station on the northeast corner of the block, usually called “the Comm Shop,” to Crescent Heights for $13 million.
