Hi Guys, Welcome to blog by Yair Shalev, In my previous post, I discussed Teatro ZinZanni. Hopefully you enjoyed this blog entry. Today I am going to share my views about Columbia Center.
Columbia Center is the tallest skyscraper in the downtown
Seattle skyline, as well as the tallest building in the State of
Washington. It occupies most of the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth
Avenues and Cherry and Columbia Streets. At 284.2 m (932 ft) it is
currently the second tallest structure on the West Coast, when the
antenna is counted as structure. It contains 76 stories of class-A
office space above ground and seven stories of various use below ground,
making it the building with the most stories west of the Mississippi.
Construction of this building began in 1982 and finished in 1985. It was
designed by Chester L. Lindsey Architects who also designed the Fourth
and Blanchard Building in the Belltown neighborhood, and was built by
Howard S. Wright Construction.
