Nexus is an under construction residential high-rise building in Seattle, Washington. When completed in 2019, the 41-story, 440-foot (130 m) tower will have 389 condominiums, retail space, and a parking garage for 316 vehicles. Nexus is located at 1200 Howell Street in the Denny Triangle neighborhood of Seattle, adjacent to Interstate 5. The project, developed by Burrard Group, was announced in 2015 and began construction in early 2017.

History

Vancouver-based developer Burrard Group announced its intention to build a 41-story condominium tower at 1200 Howell Street, its first project in Seattle, in late 2015.[6] The project was named "Nexus", referencing the tower's design as well as its location between South Lake Union, Downtown Seattle, and Capitol Hill.[7] Burrard purchased the project site, a quarter-block surface parking lot, for $14.95 million in May 2016.[8] Reservations and deposits for units began selling on June 7, with buyers camping out overnight and forming long lines at the sales office.[9]

Construction was approved in December 2016,[10] and a ceremonial groundbreaking was held on March 14, 2017.[11] Sales for units in the building began the following week, resulting in 75 percent of units sold within the first few days.[12] Nexus is scheduled to open soon.[4]

Design

Nexus's design consists of a series of stacked boxes that are rotated in 8-degree offsets to create a "twisted" look.[3][13] The tower, designed by Weber Thompson, uses the areas under the boxes for open-air terraces, as well as amenity spaces.[3][5] Some corners of the tower are "eroded" and form two-story penthouse units that are located throughout the building.[3] The rooftop will have a lounge and view terrace for residents, as well as a private bar and restaurant.[14]

The tower will also include retail space in its podium, as well as twelve stories of parking in below- and above-ground garages.[14][15]
