Facts
This is the city's first steel-framed skyscraper. |
Seattle's first "modern" skyscraper, the building is an "L" shape. |
Tallest building in Seattle from 1904 until 1911 when it was displaced by the Hoge Building one block north. |
Sold by the City of Seattle in August 2005 for $8.5 million to Kauri Investments, who had plans to convert the upper half of the building into 100 condo units. |
Plans were announced in June 2007 whereby American Life Inc. would buy the property and then spend $85 million turning it into a Courtyard by Marriott hotel. |
The building was purchased by American Life on December 6, 2007 for $38.7 million. |
The renovated building will have 200 hotel rooms and 36 apartments when it is reconstructed in 2009. |
Besides conversion to hotel space, a 37,377 square-foot addition to the existing structure was performed in 2008. |
