Chapter Building I
Chapter Buildings: A Premier Mixed-Use Development in Seattle's U District
The Chapter Buildings offer a blend of office, life sciences, and retail spaces in Seattle's University District, fostering a unique community atmosphere in a thoughtfully designed environment. A collaboration between Touchstone, a subsidiary of Urban Renaissance Group, and Portman Holdings, this 400,000 SF Class-A development was thoughtfully designed with tenants in mind, offering first-rate amenities, extensive outdoor spaces, and seamless connectivity to the vibrant neighborhood. Located just three blocks from the University of Washington and a block from the U District Light Rail station, the Chapter Buildings offer easy access to Downtown Seattle, the Burke Gilman Trail, and major highways, making it an ideal hub for innovation and connectivity.
With a focus on wellness, connection, and flexibility, the Chapter Buildings are crafted to meet the diverse needs of today's workforce. Building I offers 240,000 SF of premium office space and 9,000 SF of retail, designed to enhance productivity with expansive views, abundant natural light, and adaptable common areas. Building II features a state-of-the-art 148,000 SF life sciences facility, equipped with lab spaces and workstations to attract top bioscience talent. The development includes rooftop decks with panoramic views of the U District, Mt. Rainier, and the Seattle skyline, providing a refreshing retreat for tenants. Prioritizing sustainability, the buildings feature a dedicated outdoor air system for fresh air circulation and have achieved LEED Gold and Fitwel certifications. The Brooklyn Cut, a 5,200 SF pedestrian connector, further integrates green spaces and fosters a strong sense of community within the complex.
