Planning and construction

The site was originally occupied by a Pay 'n Save store.[6] Sears occupied the site from 1929 until 1969, when it moved into the Everett Mall.[7][8] Pay 'n Save, which had shared the building with Sears, took over the vacant space and remodeled the building shortly after the latter's departure.[9]

Key Bank Tower was originally part of the "Colby Square" development, a project intended to revitalize downtown Everett, which had declined since the construction of the Wall Street Building in 1979 as the city's growth

AFL–CIO trust;[11][12] it was later scrapped except for the building itself.[13]

With SDL Corporation of Bellevue as the

topped off on July 8, 1994, with tenants moving in that November.[12] The building underwent foreclosure in 1995 by the AFL–CIO trust after SDL sought payment for cost overruns due to the accelerated development schedule; it was subsequently purchased by Skotdal Real Estate in 1997.[14][15]
