Dive Insight:
Developers propose to build the 101-story, multi-use tower on the site of a parking garage and lot, and, according to the most recent plans submitted to the city, will partly block the west-facing views of the 76-story Columbia Center, currently Seattle's tallest building.
Crescent Heights spokesmen said they are developing their site plan with "sensitivity to our neighbors and designed to minimize view impacts on surrounding properties" and are "creating an iconic building that redefines the skyline and changes the way we live, work and play downtown."
Crescent Heights also has two 39-story apartment towers under development in Seattle that will include 600 apartments and some street-level retail space.
