If You Build It...

Tonight the city will review developer CarrAmerica's design proposal for a huge biotech campus consisting of three six-story buildings in West Lake Union. See SLOG for more details.

The Blume Co. is progressing with 'The Yale Campus', 776,000 sq. ft. of office, biotech and retail space on Mercer and Eastlake.

And in case you've been living under a rock, Amazon.com is moving its headquarters to South Lake Union. The online retailer has agreed to lease up to 1.6 million sq. ft. in up to 11 buildings to be developed by Vulcan and Schnitzer West. The Seattle City Council changed the land-use code to allow building heights up to 165 ft. or 12 stories in exchange for $6.4M in affordable housing and other benefits. Vulcan will also develop for LEED Silver or Gold certification.
