Colman Tower Design Approved

The Weber Thomson design proposal for the new Goodman Real Estate project, The Colman Tower Apartments, was unanimously approved this week by the Seattle Downtown Review Board. The proposal for a 6-story, 208-unit mixed-use apartment complex came earlier this year and is geared towards young, urban professionals. The building will feature rooftop amenities such as a terrace, dog run and common barbecues. The building’s interior will include a gym, lounge center, theatre room and game room. Goodman Real Estate has owned the property the tower will sit on for 10 years, and plans on developing 2,000 apartments in the Seattle area. These first 208 will be loft-style and an average of 700 sf in size. This is a good time for development as renters are on the rise. We hope this will help boost the real estate rental market in Seattle. The new construction and beautiful (proposed) building and almost-waterfront location at 888 Western Ave. next to Colman Dock should only make the project more successful.
