BELLEVUE, WA-Work on the $360 million Lincoln Square mixed-use development here is halted this week due to a construction accident that has three workers in serious condition.

The project, being developed by Lease Real Estate Investments and Westbanks Projects Corp., was already scheduled to shut down temporarily in August because of an uncertain market and a slew of problems.

This week’s early set back for the Downtown project occurred when an elevator fell nearly 60 feet at the construction site.

Their injuries were not considered life threatening.
