400 Westlake has an elite location in the center of South Lake Union at the original site of Seattle’s historic Firestone building. The project builds upon the bones of this landmark structure and will rise to become the world’s most sustainable building of its size and type. These green, high-performance features include a sustainable water management system, collecting rainwater and recycling non-potable water for non-potable uses, solar energy collection in the form of photo-voltaic fins that enable the building to produce 5% more energy than it consumes, and design implementations like triple-glazed windows that optimize natural light and eliminate fossil fuel demand. 400 Westlake will consume 75% less energy than the 2012 Seattle Energy Code Targets. Other features include ground-floor retail, an open-space, landscaped rooftop terrace, and below-grade parking with space for 140 vehicles and 195 bicycles. The neighborhood of South Lake Union offers excellent connectivity to transit for commuters and a plethora of local amenities. The South Lake Union Streetcar runs directly in front of 400 Westlake, and the Westlake & Thomas Station is less than a block away. The Streetcar runs to the Westlake Ave & Olive Way station in Belltown at one end, and from there, it is only a short walk to Westlake Station servicing the Seattle Monorail and Link light rail trains. For drivers, both I-5 and SR 99 are reachable in under 10 minutes from the building. Buses run throughout the neighborhood, and South Lake Union is also known for being extremely pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly. Numerous local amenities surround 400 Westlake, providing shopping, lunch, or dinner options. High-rated businesses like Serious Pie & Biscuit, Berliner Doner Kebab, and Café An’Clair are short walks away. South Lake Union has emerged as one of Seattle’s preeminent residential and employment centers, and 400 Westlake offers an opportunity to be at the forefront of this vibrant neighborhood.
