Entry Description

At 44 stories, the U.S. Bank Center lives in the heart of Seattle's downtown retail core. Constructed in the late 1980s, the tower had weathered the passage of time and needed a revitalization. The building gave little in terms of public amenities and street-level experience. The challenge was transforming this iconic space into a modern, dynamic workplace with a public-facing offering that would attract tenants and give back to the community.
