5th and Yesler

Location:

Seattle, WA

Client:

Martin Selig Real Estate

5th & Yesler is a 272,000 square foot (420,000 gross), 17-story office tower that sets a new standard in the Financial/Government District.

An anticipated LEED-CS Gold building, it features panoramic water and mountain views, a location amidst City and County offices, and excellent access to transit and Interstate 5.  The exterior closure elements consist of precast concrete, granite, and glass curtain wall and outside decks.  Indoor parking includes 210 spaces on four levels.  An outdoor deck is open to tenants on the 17th floor.

The site is one of the most difficult in recent memory, with a 25% grade (too steep for streets!), soil conditions comprised of debris from I-5 construction, and the flightpath for helicopters to Harborview Medical Center – making this “impossible” property work for a new tower was a great story from the developer, designer, and contractor perspectives.

A 90′ John Henry sculpture has been installed along 5th Avenue – a new landmark for Downtown Seattle.
