Two 9-story Towers Approved By The City

The Twin Peaks Of Redmond

Project Summary:   The project includes the development of two 9-story towers (A&B) on the former Downtown Post Office site. The Post Office has since been demolished and the site is now vacant. The subject site is approximately 2.3 acres in area.  Tower “A” is intended to provide rental opportunities for new housing options within the City, as well as providing over 5,000 square feet of retail use. Tower “B” will exclusively provide office use -  which will compliment Tower “A.” It is not known if  "green roofs" will be installed.  Green roofs are on the Mayor's to-do list.  

The site is bound by NE 85th Street on the north; a 4-story multi-family building and 3-story multi-family complex located to the east; a Metro Park-N-Ride transit center to the south; and a City of Redmond Fire Station to the west. Across NE 85th Street, is both a one and a two-story retail and office buildings. The zoning surrounding the site in all directions is TSQ (Town Square) zone. 

The site is located within the Town Square (TSQ) district of the Downtown neighborhood. The intent of this district is to encourage higher intensity, multi-story, developments. It is envisioned that new development in this district be six (6) to eight (8) stories tall and include office, retail, and residential uses.
