Tower 3 has seen significant progress in the following months. Exterior curtain wall will be wrapped up by the end of March. The storefront glazing system at the 2-story retail is also complete.  MEP rough-in is ongoing up the tower. Framing is proceeding as the rough-in is completed with focus on the restrooms, elevator cores, and stairwells. At the exterior, precast panels are complete around the entirety of the building and stone at Levels 2 through 4 is currently being installed. The pavilion structure has been set and fire-proofed. MEP rough-in is proceeding here as well. Lastly, the campus sitework has begun which will provide new sidewalks, landscape, and lighting as part of the delivery of the Office towers.

The Lake Washington Boulevard Widening project continues this month due to February weather delays and conflicts with the light pole install. The project is back on track and looking at being complete by the beginning of May. In the meantime, the paving and striping is complete, so the road is open with dual lefts into Southport.
