Amazon Ready to Break Ground

Downtown Seattle’s biggest corporate construction project ever will break ground in June as Amazon prepares to plant itself downtown in the Denny Triangle with three blocks of office towers and a corporate epicenter equivalent to a 150-story building.

They’re planting the flag … Amazon is in Seattle for the long haul.

Amazon consultants told the city last year that the three blocks probably would be developed consecutively, at roughly two-year intervals. John Savo of NBBJ, the complex’s lead architect, said Thursday that the second phase may be built “sooner rather than later.”

The first block scheduled for development — between Sixth and Seventh avenues and Virginia and Lenora streets — will include a 37-story tower and a low-rise meeting hall seating up to 1,800.

Demolition and pollution-cleanup work is under way there now, Giuzio said. Crews also are relocating utilities from the now-vacated alleys in that block and the block to the north, said Brad Hayes of Sellen Construction, the building’s general contractor.

When construction starts, there will be 600 to 650 workers on site at peak times, he added.

More big numbers: 250,000 cubic yards of dirt will be excavated for the building’s foundation and six-level garage. The tower will be built with 6,000 tons of steel.

The entire three-block complex could hold 12,000 employees, Savo said.
