Bentall Changes Two Towers to One

SEATTLE-Bentall Corp. is seeking a revised Master Use Permit after removing one of two towers planned for 1925 Ninth Avenue, a few blocks northeast of the Downtown retail core.

John Jackson, Bentall’s vice president for West Coast development, tells GlobeSt.com his company had an option to purchase a neighboring property that would have made a second, all-residential tower possible, but that “it was not economically feasible” to exercise the option and create a full-block development.

Instead, Bentall is now seeking approvals for just one of the towers, a single, 34-story building with 400,000 sf of office space topped by 175 residential units. The building would also contain an 8,400-sf childcare facility, 6,550 sf of retail space and above and below grade parking for 750 vehicles.
