2201 Westlake is the first mixed use/office building in South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. Callison and Vulcan Real Estate, the real estate strategy arm for Vulcan, Inc., partnered to develop the 2201 Westlake project.

Specifications Project Size 474,000 sf Total 300,000 sf Office 24,000 sf Retail 150,000 sf Residential 135 Residential Units 2201 Westlake became Seattle’s first private sector new construction office building to earn prestigious LEED (LEED) gold Core and Shell certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. 2201 Westlake was completed ahead of schedule. Despite the recession, the 300,000 square foot office component was fully leased shortly after completion. The 2201 Westlake project’s success inspired other improvements to the South Lake Union neighborhood, including the addition of a streetcar running directly in front of the building and redevelopment of a busy thoroughfare into a pedestrian walkway.

The 2201 Westlake project design was based on the strength of two market sectors, residential and office. Designs included lower floors as office space to maximize use of the building’s footprint for potential tenants. The residential tower was elevated to the seventh floor and up, creating great views and privacy. The mechanical systems between the residential and office portions of the building are also linked. Since the office building tends to be occupied during the day and residential units at night, heat produced on the lower office levels can be stored and utilized by residences – making both systems more efficient.
