Update: Mind you this is hearsay, but I do believe the source to be credible. It appears the city signed a 3-year lease to use the site during the duration of the its Belltown repaving project, which runs through 2010.

There are also 40 or 50 cars on this lot… all with “clunker” spray painted on the side. One assumes that these were trade ins on the recent government “cash for clunkers” program. Interestingly there are quite a few late model vehicles on the lot that are clearly worth more than the $4500 that was the credit given for the trade in. eg of late model cars – Nissan SUV, Jeep Cherokee SUV, 560 Mercedes. Off topic…but kind of interesting.

The site is currently being using as the staging area for road crews doing work in Belltown. Unfortunately, nothing will probably happen until at least next year.

Miketuck49 – info I’ve come across point to this project is also waiting out the market with a number of other proposed condos. They did put up signage awhile back but there hasn’t been any further movement.

I just uploaded another rendering from the Insignia Ads showing the West side. It’s not awe-inspiring, but it’s not bad. The street level appeal isn’t great, it looks like one big behemoth box. It would be more desirable if they designed street level plazas providing open gathering spaces for residents and pedestrians.

Awful and terrible! The architecture doesn’t even fit with the neighborhood! What are we doing with this city?! I thought we were a classy, elegant city! I’m sick of this glass box nonsense. What is this place going to look like in 20 years? Yuck!
