Rainier Square Tower, Modern skyscraper in Downtown Seattle, United States.
Rainier Square Tower is a modern skyscraper in downtown Seattle that rises to about 850 feet with a tapered silhouette. The building integrates office space, luxury residential units, and retail areas throughout its 58 levels.
Construction started in 2017 on land owned by the University of Washington, representing one of Seattle's largest building projects in recent decades. The development reshaped downtown Seattle and reflected the city's ongoing growth and modernization.
The tower's slanted design allows views of the neighboring Rainier Tower to remain unobstructed, creating a visual relationship between old and new buildings. This thoughtful positioning shows how contemporary Seattle construction considers what already exists in the cityscape.
The tower is easy to locate in downtown Seattle's main business district and sits near shops, restaurants, and public transit options. Visiting during daytime hours allows you to explore the ground-level spaces and enjoy the surrounding area comfortably.
The building uses an innovative steel plate shear wall system in its core, which differs from typical construction methods used in most skyscrapers. This engineering choice helps provide structural stability while allowing for flexible interior layouts on each floor.
