On Tuesday, January 16, the proposal for the Washington State Convention Center addition received approval at its latest design review meeting. Designed by Seattle-based LMN Architects, the project will now submit a Master Use Permit to the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections.

The $1.7 billion WSCC addition project consists of three sites. Plans call for the construction of the 1,230,00 square foot convention center addition, a new 404-unit residential tower, and a 500,000 square foot commercial office building. Site A is located at 1600 9th Avenue; site B is located at 920 Olive Way; and site C is located at 1711 Boren Avenue. The project sites sit at the intersection of several neighborhoods including: Downtown, Capitol Hill (Pike/Pine corridor), Denny Triangle, South Lake Union and First Hill.
