Troy Laundry Building

Troy Laundry Building, Historic industrial building in South Lake Union, Seattle, United States.

The Troy Laundry Building sits at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Thomas Street, featuring original facade elements from its 1927 construction. The redeveloped Troy Block complex surrounds this historic wall with modern office towers and includes ground-level retail spaces along with an Amazon Go store.

Built in 1927 to house the Troy Laundry Company, the building was designated a Seattle Landmark in March 1996. It was demolished in 2013, but its facade at Fairview Avenue and Thomas Street was kept and built into the Troy Block, a two-tower office complex completed in October 2017.

The name comes from the Troy Laundry Company, which occupied the 1927 building. Cascade Coffee Works operated in the redeveloped Troy Block and rebranded as Victrola Coffee in 2024. An Amazon Go store opened in the complex a year after its 2017 completion and closed in 2026.

The site is located in South Lake Union, a neighborhood with good walkability and pedestrian access around the block. The preserved historic wall is visible from the street and easy to view, even though the surrounding buildings house offices and businesses.

During the 2013 redesign, an unusual strategy preserved the original stone wall by fully exposing it as an architectural feature within the new towers. This demonstrates how old factory facades now serve as design elements in contemporary development projects.
