BELLEVUE, WA-An 8,000-sf upscale restaurant is filling out the retail portion of Schnitzer Northwest’s Civica Office Commons, a two-tower, 300,000-sf development in Downtown Bellevue.

The locally-based property owner and developer announced today that Palisades Executive Chef John Howie will open Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar on the first floor of the south tower. Seattle architecture firm Weber+Thompson will design the restaurant, and Lease Crutcher Lewis Construction will build out the space. The restaurant is expected to open in the spring of 2002.

The development’s 12,000-sf of retail is now leased up, including a yet-to-be-named title company, a Wells Fargo retail branch and a Starbucks Coffee, says Bill Pollard of Pacific Real Estate Partners, who with partner Jeff Durrell holds the leasing assignment for the project. On the office side, Pollard says just 18,000 remains to be leased, giving the building a 94% occupancy rate in a market where the average is right around 80%.
