The repositioning of 800 Fifth Avenue, a LEED Platinum building in Seattle’s downtown core, updates the role of the modern urban workplace by creating an experience that is better than home. Designed largely during the COVID‑19 pandemic, 800 Fifth Avenue captures the elements that made remote work attractive while underscoring urban amenities that serve both tenants and the wider public.
