Market Sector: High-rise

Fifth and Stewart Hotel & Residences

Sky-high Amenities

Stanford Hotels partnered with MG2 to design a 54-story mixed-use hotel and residential tower located on a prominent corner in downtown Seattle. Surrounded by an array of building types and uses, the challenging site forced MG2 to thoroughly examine and validate design decisions from multiple perspectives. The MG2 team introduced horizontal and vertical rhythms to the facade, helping weave the luxury tower into the neighborhood’s contextual fabric.

In addition to the 257 room hotel and 233 residential units, the tower offers more than 18,000 SF of hotel amenities and restaurants, including a rooftop bar overlooking the Puget Sound. To activate the street front, the main floor features 3,000 SF of retail space anchored by a sidewalk café. Directly above, four levels of artist lofts overlook the streetscape.

Tower 12

A vertical neighborhood with sky-high sophistication

When Continental Properties purchased a prime downtown Seattle site, they intended to build a condominium tower. However, after consulting with MG2, they decided to shift their focus to luxury apartment homes, helping to meet Seattle’s high rental demand and enhancing their return on their investment.

Tower 12 offers rentals ranging from studios to penthouses, creating a diverse vertical community and providing a variety of features appealing to modern city dwellers. Amenities include an outdoor terrace, lounge and game room, media center, conference room, exercise facilities, and enviable walkability to the city’s attractions. Appealing to health and environmentally conscious residents, the tower is LEED Silver certified and designed with a strategic orientation to maximize the iconic local views of Pike Place Market and the Olympic Mountains.
