Seattle Apartments Named ‘Project of the Year’ in Pillars Awards
The Epicenter, Seattle, has been named the Project of the Year in NAHB Multifamily’s 2004 Pillars of the Industry awards.
The mixed-use complex in Seattle’s arts district was chosen by the judges from the Pillars winners in all 17 builder categories.
The building sports bright colors and a startling array of decorative metal — much like some of the younger neighborhood residents. It includes 150 rental units, ground floor markets, restaurants and a coffee bar.
The neighborhood, long resistant to new development, was invited to participate in the development process. The incorporation of neighborhood feedback led to a better project — one that won a community award for exemplary work. The Epicenter is already a local landmark.
