Tower 333 Opens on West Coast

摘要

A new, 20-story, 415,000-square-foot, Class-A office tower called Tower 333 opened in Bellevue, WA. The first LEED-CS pre-certified office tower on the West Coast, Tower 333 was a collaboration between Seattle-based LMN Architects and Houston-based Hines' CalPERS Green Development Fund (a joint venture between Hines and California Public Employees' Retirement System). The tower is clad in highly transparent glass that maximizes the site's views west to Lake Washington and the Olympics, south to Mt. Rainier, and east to the Cascades. Natural light is let into the tenant spaces through full-height windows and 10-foot finished ceilings. The building also includes flexible, 23,000-square-foot floorplates, energy-efficient operating systems, and a 0.5-acre outdoor plaza.
