Seattle has been named the crane capital of America for the second year in a row, and the local construction boom transforming the city shows no signs of slowing.

With nation leading demographics, population and job growth, now is the time to invest in Seattle’s future. Seattle has a plethora of renters seeking high-end living options in the shadow of the Space Needle and blocks from Amazon’s ever expanding footprint. New apartment construction rents in and around Triple2 average $3.50 per foot for mid-rise and $4.00 per foot for high-rise buildings. Proximity to Top Tier Employers Seattle is a stable economy, driven by several stalwart companies as well as high-growth technology start-ups. Major employers in Seattle include Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and Nordstrom. Amazon is seeing massive growth, Google leased 600,000 square feet in South Lake Union that will have room for up to 4,000 employees, Facebook will double its presence when the Arbor Blocks project is complete in 2018, with room for 2,500 employees. Expedia will move to Interbay in 2019 with room for 4,500 employees. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters is just blocks from Triple2. The Foundation has 1,500 employees and a Foundation Trust Endowment of $40.3 billion. In addition to high-growth in the tech sector, the city of Seattle metro expects to add 70,000 jobs in 2017, and has a 3.3% unemployment rate. LISTED EXCLUSIVELY BY JLL 4 Untitled map Untitled layer SECTION 1 All items THE OPPORTUNITY High Earning Technology Based Rental Pool NerdWallet ranked Seattle as the second best place for STEM graduates, and the 5th top ten city for job seekers. The technology sector has become one of the most signifi cant drivers of employment growth. Seattle is ranked as the number one best paying city for software engineers, who make a median salary of $132,000. A growing tech industry is often considered the ultimate sign of a healthy local economy. From 2006-2016 the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue MSA saw 47.7% job growth in the tech industry and in 2016 had 145,824 tech jobs. According to Forbes, the Seattle area is 8th in the nation for cities creating the most tech jobs. Record Level of Housing Demand Increased demand for housing and favorable market demographics throughout the city are spurring developers to continue to build. From 2016 to 2017 the city added 60,800 jobs and absorbed 11,400 units, which equates to one unit absorbed for every fi ve jobs added. Amazon, Google, Facebook, F5 and Expedia all have future expansion plans that would grow their employment by a total of 67,400. These fi ve companies alone will generate demand for 13,480 apartment units in the next few years. Growing Transportation Infrastructure Triple2 enjoys exceptional access to Seattle’s extensive, and expanding, transportation network. The Seattle Streetcar connects South Lake Union to Westlake Center and the Sound Transit Light Rail system. Sound Transit’s light rail system currently provides service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac International Airport, the University of Washington, Capitol Hill, and service to the U-District and Northgate will start in 2021. Improvements are being made to metro transit service via an Uptown priority bus corridor. Sound Transit has plans for a future light rail station in Lake Union and at Seattle Center by 2035. Bicycle network links will have dedicated bike lanes and the Lake2Bay pedestrian corridor will improve access and transportation to and from Triple2. N LISTED EXCLUSIVELY BY JLL 5 SECTION 1 THE OPPORTUNITY Amazon.com Amazon has had a resounding impact on local employment and residential demographics. Amazon actively recruits out of state employees to fill their over 7,500 current job openings, which has a positive effect on net in-migration. The new reality is that much of the workforce wants to be in greater Downtown, and companies are willing to pay more per square foot to draw the best talent. Amazon’s growth seems unstoppable, it will continue to redefine Seattle, and contributes to keeping Seattle one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. Amazon’s Day One and Doppler towers located on 6th avenue have room for over 7,000 employees, and construction is underway on Amazon’s third tower. When the third tower is completed in 2019, the full block at Westlake and Lenora avenues will have a 37-story tower and a seven- story building with a total of 1.1 million square feet of office, and more than 43,000 square feet of retail. Amazon is working on plans for a fourth block at 2200 7th Avenue, which will have a 24-story tower and an eight-story building with another approximately 850,000 square feet of office. Amazon also purchased a fifth site on 7th Avenue between Blanchard and Bell streets, and across the street from Day One tower. This site will contain a 17-story office building with 405,000 square feet. All together these sites comprise 4.55 million square feet of office space with room for 18,220 employees. Triple2’s proximity to Amazon and Seattle’s core, creates an ideal environment to capture future rent growth and return on investment. By 2022, Amazon’s workforce would reach 85,000 employees, and would occupy more than 12 million square feet across 40 buildings in Seattle’s core.

INTRODUCTION Many important and long planned transportation and development projects are scheduled for con- struction in Downtown Seattle in the coming years. While these investments are essential to support economic development and job growth and to enhance Downtown’s stature as the region’s premier location to live, work, shop and play, in the short-term they present complicated challenges for con- venient and reliable access to and through Downtown. The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) and its partners, Historic South Downtown (HSD) and the Seat- tle Department of Transportation (SDOT), seek to ensure that Downtown Seattle survives and prospers during the extraordinarily high level of construction activity that will occur in the coming years.

Bell, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Volume 1 of Plats, Page 121, in King County, Washington. At the public meeting held on January 4, 2012 the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the Fashioncraft Building/Recovery Café at 2022 Boren Avenue as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standards for designation of SMC 25.12.350: C. It is associated in a significant way with a significant aspect of the cultural, political, or economic heritage of the community, City, state, or nation; and D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, period, or of a method of construction; and F. Because of its prominence of spatial location, contrasts of siting, age, or scale, it is an easily identifiable visual feature of its neighborhood or the City and contributes to the distinctive quality or identity of such neighborhood or the City.

    Capitol Hill Transit Oriented Development: Public Feedback Report October 2012 Table of Contents Comment Summary 1 Background 3 Background, overview, process moving forward Appendix A: Comment forms and emails Appendix B: Seattle LGBT Commission Report of Needs Assessment Survey 2010 Comment Summary Overall, the majority of comments received during this process support both the term sheet and the City of Seattle and Sound Transit’s process to date. Those comments will be responded to in the month of October and in advance of the Development Agree- ment process beginning. Housing: Comments expressed significant support for requirements and bonus points in the Term Sheet for af- fordable housing. In addition, some commented they would like to see the Term Sheet go further with depth and/or duration of affordability. Most of the comments support an increase in height that allows for increased development capacity on the sites; however several others expressed concern regarding the additional 20 feet and a potential impact on the plaza, festival street and neighborhood scale Community/Cultural Center: Strong support for inclusion of a cultural/community center and for it to have a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) focus. Some expressed support of a cultural/community center with LGBTQ activities/services included in the programming. Amenity Areas: Comments support creation of Denny Way “Festival Street” and a few comments spoke to further lim- iting vehicle traffic, while another spoke to including two-way traffic. Support received reinforced the inclusion of the Broadway Farmer’s Market in the plaza. While support remains for the plaza, some questions were asked and concerns raised regarding its pro- gramming and oversight.
