Fourth and Blanchard Building, Commercial skyscraper in Belltown, United States

The Fourth and Blanchard Building is a commercial skyscraper in Belltown that rises 25 stories with a reflective glass exterior reaching about 105 meters high. The structure houses office spaces along with parking areas, shower facilities, and a coffee shop inside.

The Fourth and Blanchard Building was completed in 1979, designed by Chester L. Lindsey Architects, the firm also behind the Columbia Center. Its reflective glass design recalls Houston's Pennzoil Place. It stands on the site of the former summit of Denny Hill, in the Denny Regrade area of Belltown.

The Red Popsicle, a red sculpture, stands outside the building and is the public art visitors most often notice. The building's nickname, the Darth Vader building, comes from its dark reflective glass and its shape, which resembles the helmet of the Star Wars character.

The location sits in a busy neighborhood with good pedestrian access and multiple entrances on different sides of the site. Visitors can view the public art from the street and the area has nearby restaurants and shops.

The tower stands on the leveled site of Denny Hill, once the highest point of the Denny Regrade, and rises about one hundred feet above the former hill's peak. The hill was sluiced away in a regrading project, so the ground beneath the building is artificial rather than original terrain.
