Stadium Place, also known as the North Lot Development, is a mixed-use development project in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, replacing a parking lot north of Lumen Field.

The first phase of the project, located on the west side of 2nd Avenue South, was completed in 2014 and consists of The Wave, a 26-story residential high-rise building, and The Nolo, a 10-story apartment building. The second phase, on the east side, will be completed in 2017 and consist of an

Embassy Suites
hotel.

Buildings

Stadium Place consists of four buildings on two blocks along South King Street:[2][3][4][5]

  • The Wave: a 26-story, 260-foot-tall (79 m) residential high-rise with
    condominiums
    (opened in 2014)
  • The Nolo, a 10-story apartment building (opened in 2013)
  • Hawk Tower: a 21-story
    office building partially leased by Avalara, to open in 2017[6]

Financing

Daniels Real Estate and R.D. Merrill have partnered to develop the almost $200 million project.[7][8] As of February 2009, $20 million in a $51.5 million securities offering had been raised for the initial phase. The construction lender is Pacific Life Insurance Company.[9][10]

The project also used $300 million in EB-5 visa financing from foreign nationals.[11]

Construction

Construction on the first phase began with a

groundbreaking ceremony held on September 27, 2011.[1]

The first phase, built by

King Street Station were to be protected. Residents in the upper floors of the south tower are given a partial view of the play taking place within the neighboring stadium. Of the 500 apartments throughout the first phase's complex, only about 30 units will be set aside for low-income residents.[13][14][15] The Nolo was completed and opened in September 2013,[16]
while The Wave was opened in 2014.

Construction on the second phase, consisting of a 23-story hotel and 21-story office building, began in September 2014 and is expected to last until 2017.[17]
