Wright Runstad & Company president Greg Johnson said: "The master use permit is the culmination of the city’s land use and design review and public comment period."

It also includes developments for 30,000ft² of distinctive restaurants and retail shops, along with another 12-storey building that will include a 155-room premium hotel.

"The design incorporates feedback from the design review board for a bolder and more dramatic sweeping curve up the east face of the tower," Johnson added.
Architecture firm NBBJ is responsible for the designs of the redevelopment project, construction for which has been scheduled to start in early 2017.
University of Washington is the owner for the Metropolitan Tract where it was located initially. The tract spans across around 11 acres.
First tenants for the tower development under the project are expected to enter the building in late 2018.
