Westlake/Terry Brings new Life To Underdeveloped Neighborhood
Callison-designed Westlake/Terry was awarded Sustainable Development of the Year by the Washington state chapter of NAIOP at the annual Night of the Stars event.
The 317,000 square foot project is comprised of two buildings on a full block with tenants including Microsoft, Starbucks and Group Health.
Westlake/Terry combines eco-friendly materials with amenities such as showers, bicycle storage and a nearby transit stop to encourage emission-free commutes. The building is designed to achieve additional energy savings by implementing an energy model that combines the resources of Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy to provide cost incentives for the building owners and tenants.
