The building design from Weber Thompson is unique with blocks that twist as they go up the building. It is an interesting new building shape that Seattle has yet to see. It will allow for different view corridors that wouldn't be possible with the traditionally shaped building. In between the twisting blocks will be penthouses that will have large deck spaces, several of which would be lofts.
Why condos and not apartments? The Burrard Group feels that since the majority of buildings being constructed in our urban core are apartments and not condos there is a void in the market to fill by building a condominium tower. Also, with rents rising at a steady pace, they feel that high rents should lead to an increase in demand for purchasing condos in Seattle's urban core.
