In July 2018, the company bought land for the office development project and secured administrative design review and approval last year.

Construction works at the site are expected to begin next month, with completion set to take place in fourth quarter of 2023.

Upon completion, The Eight project will be Skanska’s sixth development in the Greater Seattle Area and second in Bellevue since it began its operations related to development in the region in 2011.

The company’s US commercial development operations made an investment of $2.8bn in commercial and multi-family projects, since 2009.

With this investment, nearly 600,000m2 of sustainable and community focused infrastructure development was created in select US markets.

In February this year, Skanska USA completed the primary construction work on Brookfield Properties’ dynamic mixed-use project ‘Fifth + Broadway’ in Nashville, Tennessee.

Skanska was appointed in 2014 when the project was in the planning phase.
