The building of Bellevue's Lincoln Square Expansion project hits the ground this weekend with a continuous pour of 13,690 yard of concrete for 24 hours to form the structural base for a new 41-story tower. "This massive mat of concrete and rebar is the foundation for what will become Bellevue's premier luxury hotel-residential tower," said Michael Chaplin, principal at Sclater Architects, the lead architect for the 1.5 million-square-foot, mixed-use Lincoln Square Expansion project. "In coming months, Bellevue residents will witness this tower and an adjacent office tower climb upward into the Bellevue skyline."
The concrete and rebar structure that will take shape Feb. 28 will anchor the 450-foot tower and play a critical structural role in supporting the cast-in-place concrete and steel structure. After removing more than 485,000 square feet of earth over the past year, workers recently installed more than 3 million pounds of rebar in the construction pit located at the corner of NE 4th Street and Bellevue Way.
The Lincoln Square portion of the expansion, located between NE 4th and NE 6th on Bellevue Way in Bellevue, Washington, includes 700,000 sq. ft. of Class A Premier Office space, 177,000 sq. ft. of retail, dining and entertainment space along with a 244 room luxury boutique hotel and 250 luxury high-rise rental residences with unequalled views.
Construction began last year with the 1.5 million sq. ft. expansion of Lincoln Square, which will begin opening in 2016, and will be followed with an additional half million sq. ft. expansion to its popular Bellevue Square shopping center. Kemper Development Company's mixed-use expansion will enhance downtown Bellevue's bustling urban environment, ensuring that Seattle's Eastside tech industry and The Bellevue Collection continue to grow in tandem.
