After a nearly a half decade with little high-rise construction activity, work began in June 2014 on the Lincoln Square expansion in downtown Bellevue, Wash. The project would push the limits of what a Northwest construction team could accomplish.
Both of the Lincoln Square towers were designed to rise within inches of the city’s 450-ft height limit, and both the 41-story hotel with its residential components and the 32-story office tower sit atop a three-level podium. Other elements include 175,000 sq ft of retail, entertainment and dining space and a six-level below grade parking garage.
