WESTLAKE/TERRY
BUILDING INFORMATION
Building Description
Located in the heart of the Westlake/Terry district in South Lake Union and within easy walking distance of downtown Seattle and the lakefront, Westlake Terry is Seattle's newest premier office and retail address. Surrounded on three sides by the new Streetcar route, the two building project features highly efficient, light-filled floors. The six-story building on the west half of the block includes 148,200 square feet of office and 20,800 square feet of retail. The four-story building on the east half of the block includes 128,800 square feet of office space and 19,500 square feet of retail. Westlake Terry is a sustainable, eco-friendly LEED certified facility.
Environmental Design
Sustainable Building/LEED®
- Pursuing LEED® Silver Certification under the LEED for Core & Shell pilot program with the potential of achieving Gold Certification.
- Preparing TI Design Guidelines, to help inform sustainable choices during the tenant fit-out.
- Preparing a "green" housekeeping manual to provide building occupants and operators guidance for maintaining the building in an environmentally-responsible manner, including use of low-toxic cleaners and a non-toxic grounds maintenance plan.
- Developing a green building education program to inform occupants, visitors, and the community at large about the environmental features of the buildings design and operation.
Sustainable Sites
- Remediation and use of existing urban site avoids development of virgin greenfield.
- Urban site also provides easy access to public transportation, and bike racks and showers will encourage its use.
- Underground parking avoids adding new impervious surfaces, which increases stormwater run-off.
- In addition, underground parking and reflective roofing will avoid creating a "urban heat island," which is a localized increase in ambient temperature that can disrupt the local eco-system.
Water Efficiency
- Use of native, drought-tolerant landscaping will minimize water and pesticide use
- No permanent irrigation system will be installed to conserve preserve precious potable water resources.
- Extra efficient bathroom and shower fixtures are anticipated to reduce base building indoor potable water use by more than 40%.
Energy & Atmosphere
- High performance building envelope and building systems, optimized through the use of energy modeling, are expected to reduce energy costs at least 30 percent below the governing industry standard for commercial buildings (ASHRAE 90.1 1999).
- Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems will use equipment that use alternative, non-ozone-depleting refrigerants.
Materials & Resources
- Construction waste management practices will promote recycling and are expected to reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by at least 75 percent by weight.
- Use of recycled content materials will include insulation, gypsum, concrete, and steel.
- Use of local building materials will reduce energy consumption and pollution associated with transportation.
Indoor Environmental Quality
- Sustainable job site operations for indoor air quality control during core and shell construction will protect both workers and help eliminate air quality problems post construction.
- Use of low-VOC interior products, including adhesives, sealants, paints, and carpet, during core and shell construction will protect health of both workers and occupants.
- Core and shell design incorporates features to help reduce the introduction and spread of indoor air pollutants.
- Ample daylighting and access to views will enhance occupant health, well-being, productivity, and connection to the outdoor environment.
