SEATTLE—Since the start of the current boom in 2010, Seattle has grown at an unprecedented rate. With dozens of projects still underway, this construction boom continues to deliver.
Downtown is home to the largest share of that growth, according to a mid-year report by Downtown Seattle. This continued investment shows a high level of confidence in the metro and contributes to a strong economy. Downtown is reporting a historic level of investment with $5.6 billion worth of projects under construction, topping a previous high of $5 billion one year ago.
