BELLEVUE, WA—Skanska purchased the land at the intersection of NE 8th St. and 108th Ave. NE for The Eight in July 2018. And now, the team is finalizing the design for final administrative design review and approval, securing the necessary permits and entitlements, and then shift focus to construction in the next couple of months.

The 25-floor class-A office tower encompasses 540,000 square feet and is designed with large structural braces to accommodate a side core construction. This allows for large flexible floorplates for all types of tenants and densities.

The Eight also features seven alternating indoor/outdoor exterior balconies. The development has 7,000 square feet of open public space, 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and an additional 1,200-square-foot retail pavilion.
