Redevelopment/Renovation of the Year
U.S. Bank Center
Constructed in 1989, USBC had weathered the passage of time and was in need of a revitalization. Challenged with transforming this space into a dynamic workplace for tenants while giving back to the community, the reposition introduces a series of hospitality-inspired spaces including Cedar Hall, a three-story retail space along Fifth Avenue. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest ethos, the reimagined neighborhood destination now offers a place to gather, work, and play in one central hub.

The mass timber–concrete hybrid project attracted a full-building tenant in a challenging market with a forward-looking biophilic design and serves as a catalyst for future development of the full block vision of Campus Seattle.
