This one is special. From the antique elevator and its elevator man to the famous Chinese Room restaurant at the top... Nothing else like it. Never will be.
Yesler Way and 5th Avenue
- Downtown Seattle/Pioneer Square
- 42 story building
- Plans are for 12 luxury condos, one per floor, on the top twelve floors. The lower floors will remain office space.
- The Chinese Room is on the 35th floor of the tower, the same level as the observatory. The furniture and the handcarved ceiling were gifts from the Empress of China.
- Currently a three-story penthouse at the top of the tower, the only residence in the building
- Eight-foot wide glass dome crowns the top of the building. Illuminates blue light, except for the month of December, when it is changed to green.
