SEATTLE | 701 Fourth Avenue | 1,020 FT | 91 FLOORS
Seattle needs more recognition on ssp. :tup:
============================== 101-story skyscraper on Seattle’s Fourth Avenue proposed http://static.seattletimes.com/wp-co...9f-300x579.jpg Quote:

^^^ I also would like to see Seattle get more exposure on SSP! I don't think this will happen.... What about the FAA?
|
The FAA approved antennas of 192' on top of Columbia Center back in about 1990, which would have made it about 1160' tall per today's trend of including spires and antennae. This tower could most likely hit 1200' with little resistance. It is in an unlimited height zone. It would be the tallest in the west by number of floors alone.
|
I was thinking 1200' too. That would be sweet. Even a spire lets just say, eh, this could break the 1300' mark. :slob:

haha I'd be okay with that! I'll be interested to see the first EDG package submitted to the city to see what they're thinking massing wise.
|
The number of floors and the probable height are impressive... But what really gets me excited is 1200 residential units on a half-block! Plus hotel, office and retail! That would be great for Manhattan, but absolutely incredible for a city the size of Seattle.
|
1,200 units in a super tall even for Manhattan is historic. Silverstein's 520 West 41st Street has 1,400 units, and that project has the most units for a super tall in this boom. This is quite historic for Seattle and for a project outside of NYC. :cheers:
With a commercial and hotel component, hopefully a substantial base will be in order, with the remaining floors being residential. |
Nice nice! Anything over 1000 feet is a win here IMO for Seattle to join the US Supertall club :cheers:
|
This will be an interesting one to follow. I love how they are just edging out the 1,018 foot US Bank tower in LA to grab the tallest tower on the west coast. It's definitely making an addition to the supertalls!
|
Nice Parking Lot.... LOL!
|
The initial documents for the 1111 ft. tower submitted for design review...
|
^ excellent!
the "preferred design" looks quite promising. let's hope seattle can become the 8th US city to join the super-tall club. |

Wow! Very nice. That would be just enough to surpass Wilshire Grand. What a smack in the face to LA.
Currently have Supertalls or under construction: NYC Chi LA Philly SF ATL Houston Proposed Supertalls: Miami Seattle Dallas This would match China, which currently has 10 cities with Supertalls. No other country in the world compares. |
Taken from the design packet:

Okay I'm done. But seriously you guys, what a week. Chicago blowing up the South Loop, Salesforce showing progress in San Fran, Wilshire Grand cracking the skyline in LA, and now a proposal in Seattle backed by a Miami developer...you know those Miami guys get shit done. If only they could get one of the 478237 supertall proposals in their own city out of the ground, we'd really be on fire. :P |
^^^^
Along with Seattle, Miami needs more recognition too! Have you seen the progress going down there? Its amazing. Hopefully we will get a super tall or too, but we are killing in the 150m+ category. :cheers: Just today, 6 towers over 150m where approved by the FAA for S.Florida. Good times for the U.S.. Texas is booming, Cali is booming, NYC is just.... out there and unstoppable, Chicago is starting its boom and hopefully will exceed all, Seattle crane heaven, and it goes on. Hate to say it, but this is the age of Ramses. Which proves, that his blessing, Ramses, is not just for NYC. :yes: I guess the Miami guys are tired of the FAA, and so, they are flocking to Seattle and Chicago. Which I don't mind. All cities matter for the motherland. http://i.imgur.com/8mkcrLz.jpg |
