888 Second Avenue, Modern office building in Downtown Seattle, United States
888 Second Avenue is a tall office building in downtown Seattle with a distinctive external steel framework that catches your eye from the street. The structure combines office and mixed-use space with a generous public area at ground level where people gather.
The project started in 2013 under the name The Marion with plans for a taller structure before being redesigned into its current form. The initial vision shifted during the planning phase as the project evolved.
The structure incorporates a 65-foot-wide atrium that functions as a skylight, reflecting Seattle's architectural emphasis on natural light integration.
The building stands out with its unusual steel frame that makes it easy to spot from different angles around downtown. Visitors can explore the public areas at street level and appreciate the structural design from the sidewalk without needing special access.
A steel exoskeleton characterizes the exterior design, while the construction remains pending until securing an anchor tenant.
