SEATTLE | 2005 Fifth Avenue | 480 FT | 44 FLOORS
Here's Chainqui Development's plan for a new 44-story tower in Belltown
Quote:
Chainqui Development will have its first design review next week for a 44-story mixed-use tower it plans at 2005 Fifth Ave. in Belltown.
The meeting is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5 in City Hall, 601 Fifth Ave., Room L2-80.
Chainqui is represented by DSA Development Services, an affiliate, which also shares an address with GWest Architecture, the project designer.
Through an LLC, the Taiwan-based Chainqui paid $33.7 million two years ago for the northwest corner of Fifth and Virginia Street.
In July, the two buildings on the corner were landmarked by the city's Landmarks Preservation Board, so the developer must preserve the facades of the Sheridan Apartments and Griffin Building, which date to 1915 and 1927, respectively.
Chainqui wants to build 440 apartments above about 125,300 square feet of office space in the podium, plus street-level retail.
The site measures 19,440 square feet. It is bounded by an alley to the west and, to the north, Vulcan Real Estate's planned 44-story, 458-unit apartment tower at Fifth and Lenora Street.
GWest's preferred design, which it calls “Belltown Gateway,” has a pedestrian arcade at the ground-floor level of the Griffin on the corner, with a 12-foot-wide, L-shaped public walkway. That 3,200-square-foot space would be recessed within the facade of the landmarked structure.
The 480-foot tower would be set back from the corner. The tower and upper podium would also be elevated on columns about 25 feet above the Sheridan and Griffin, creating a large open garden and decks for residents, office workers or both.
