RENTON, WASH. — SECO Development Inc. has received all design review and master plan approvals for the construction of Southport Waterfront Corporate Campus, a complex of three Class A nine-story office buildings on Lake Washington in Renton.
Southport Waterfront Corporate Campus is the final phase of the $570 million, 17-acre Southport Development, a mixed-use development of office, retail, restaurants, luxury apartments and a four-star hotel and convention center on Lake Washington.
The corporate center will consist of 724,520 square feet of Class A office space and 10,400 square feet of retail space to go along with the 383 units of luxury, multifamily residences completed in 2008, as well as the 350-key hotel and convention center currently under construction.
The office complex is situated on 5.6 acres and will feature direct marine access and a 200-foot dock outfitted with water and electricity, in addition to 2,078 parking spaces. Offices will be outfitted with 100 percent fiber Gigabit Passive Optic Network, providing Internet access of up to 100-gigabyte data speeds.
Southport Waterfront Corporate Campus will have waterfront views of Lake Washington, the Seattle skyline, Olympic Mountains and Mt. Rainier, and is adjacent to the 55-acre Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.
The campus is located eight miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, nine miles from Boeing Field, and is nearby to the Seattle Seahawks headquarters and training facilities, as well as Microsoft corporate headquarters.
Southport is also located one-tenth of a mile from The Landing, which is comprised of 800,000 square feet of retail and more than 20 restaurants, banks, medical facilities and a movie theater.
Off-site road improvements and utility work on the project began in January 2015. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2016, with occupancy of the office buildings slated for December 2017.
Since its inception in 1989, SECO Development has developed more than 3,500 residential units, 160,000 square feet of retail, 800,000 square feet of office space, two retirement facilities and three hotels.
