(/snark)I don't know what will become of the building. After three or more high-rise housing starts, it has to be moved to build on that property, but there's not really a good place to put it. A definitive answer could be had from the gurus at SkyscraperCity, though - their Seattle forum has piles of urban planning and real estate people. I could also ask a friend of mine (I'm in Seattle).

Doesn't seem very good at all to me. Looks very sexy though. Good thing for a warmer climate maybe.

I've seen this building in person and am curious if it was delivered as modules, or built entirely on-site. If the scale is at all correct on the Miller Hull site, these appear to be three or four times wider than a truck. I can tell you that 16' is optimal and 20' would be pushing it. Does anyone know the detail on this structure? I wonder if they really did their research on the module part, or if it is truly more theoretical in nature. Next time I'm down there, I'm bringing my tape measure... I work for a modular company, and it looks like these potential “modules” are wayyyy too wide for transport, especially for downtown Seattle.
