The five-story building on Seattle's Capital Hill will be appointed with fiber optics from five carriers, upgraded electrical, and large conduits to adapt to changes in technology. The building's present design calls for 26,000 sf to 35,000 sf column-free floor plates, with a floor-to-ceiling height of 12-feet, 10-inches and a floor load of 100 lbs./sf. Behar adds that an all-concrete construction will help eliminate vibration and provide a more sound-proofed environment. The building will also have three stories of underground parking with approximately 298 stalls and a two-bay loading dock.

Behar says he selected the site at 401 Broadway was selected, in part, because "it was one of the few, remaining opportunities to assemble a full block in Seattle." Downtown traffic and parking rates being what they are, it doesn't hurt either that the metro bus system has a stop at the building. The developer says the property is for his own portfolio, for which he has also developed several apartment projects and two community shopping centers in Silverdale, the Eddie Bauer Center (12,000 sf) and the Good Guys Center (26,000 sf).
