Nine & Pine
1601 9th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101
apartment/retail · 74,570 SQFT · cOMPLETED 2014 · 7 FLOORS · 74 units
An empty parking lot property in downtown Seattle on 9th Avenue and Pine Street, kitty corner from the Paramount Theatre, was purchased from Wyndham Hotels in 2009 at the bottom of the recession knowing that this project faced significant construction challenges. Sixty five percent of the site was positioned above the Seattle Metro Transit Tunnel with only five to eight feet separating the project from the top of the tunnel below. As a result, high rise construction was out of the question and even a low rise building required a very innovative and creative construction solution.
Construction involved utilizing a five-story wood frame over a 2-story concrete podium to minimize the weight and cost of structurally spanning the Metro tunnel. Additionally, four giant 65,000 pound steel trusses of up to 91 feet in length were needed to support the building’s weight and provide, effectively, a “bridge” over the tunnel. The additional cost of spanning the bus tunnel exceeded $1.5 million due to the installation of four steel transfer trusses, a concrete transfer beam, and deep pile foundations instead of standard spread footings to prevent any building loads from being transferred to the tunnel structure below. Nine and Pine was a 2015 finalist for NAIOPs' Multi-Family Development of the Year.
