Outside the Region: 2+U Seattle tops out, design by Pickard Chilton

December 18, 2018 - Front Section

Seattle, WA Pickard Chilton celebrated the topping out of 2+U, an office tower in the city’s central business district. 

The 686,000 s/f building features an open-air, pedestrian-friendly urban village under the building, made possible by 20 steel and concrete “Y columns” that lift the building 85 ft. off the ground. Located at the corner of Second Avenue and University Street, 2+U will connect tenants, neighbors and visitors with 17,000 s/f of retail, arts and cultural spaces. 

Pickard Chilton collaborated with Skanska, Kendall/Heaton Associates and Magnusson Klemencic Associates to deliver 2+U to Seattle, providing a functional space for the city’s residents as well as an architectural landmark. The office tower is slated for completion in summer 2019.

Through its thoughtful design, 2+U will become a connection linking the new waterfront, Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, and surrounding downtown neighborhoods.
