1915 Second For Sale

Another proposed project by Intracorp has been canceled, and is up for sale. The project itself has been approved, even though there have been recent changes to building code due to enhanced height restrictions. However, Intracorp has failed to comment as to why they seem to be unsuccessful with recent development attempts. As Matt Goyer points out, the Parc seems to be Intracorps only project over the last couple of years that hasn’t fallen through, or been converted to apartments.

Naturally, Moran and Company boast their excitement for retaining the rights to continue listing the property. Regardless of Intracorps’ stand on why the project is up for sale, 1915 Second is in a prime location, has an attractive design, features desirable amenities, and claims to have unobstructed views–unlike another hole in the ground idea which was planned nearby.

2nd & Stewart is a 12,950 sq. ft. site located in the heart of downtown Seattle in the Market District. It is within half a block of the Pike Place Market to the west and two blocks to Westlake Center and Downtown Seattle’s retail core to the east. To the south (within four-blocks) are Benaroya Hall, the expanded Seattle Art Museum and over 21 mm sq. ft of core Class-A office space in Seattle’s Central Business District. To the north is the vibrant Belltown neighborhood, which contains a multitude of fashionable restaurants and shops focused on 1st and 2nd Avenue.

Intracorp Application to Potentially “Trump” Justen Co. Proposal

The Seattle Times has reported that Intracorp is having a new proposal reviewed for a taller tower at 1915 2nd Avenue. Their current land-use permit, which will expire in Nov. 2009, was approved to build a 240-foot tower. Now, Intracorp is looking to build 400′ residential tower which may prevent the Justen Co. from building their proposed hotel/condo project at 1931 2nd Ave., due to an 80-foot separation standard set by the City Council.

According to Intracorp’s Seattle president, Mike Lierman, zoning changes and current market conditions since the initial design review have given them reason to explore other options.

Expo 62 Sold As Apartment Building: 17 Buyers to be Released from Purchase & Sale Agreements

I’m one of the 17 buyers whose purchase and sale agreement is no longer reserving a unit purchased for Expo 62. Although the sales staff for Expo 62 did a wonderful job (kudos to Katy Lassey), sales just weren’t up to par and therefore sold to an out-of-state investor. My speculation is that Intracorp’s “hip” marketing strategy and “daddy-o” slogan didn’t coincide with it’s target market. It’s effort was directed towards targeting younger buyers who weren’t aware of it’s relation to Seattle’s World Fair and construction of the Spaceneedle in 1962. Marketing just didn’t make sense. The building should still be a wonderful asset to the community and a wonderful place to live for those looking to rent.
