South Lake Wants More Interesting Buildings
A tip of our hat to Cairncross & Hempelmann attorney Don Marcy, who moderated our Seattle Construction & Development Summit. Don, one of Seattles leading land-use and development lawyers, tells us that the most imminent public policy change is the proposed South Lake Union rezone; thenew regulations will hopefully result in taller and more visually interesting buildings.Another public policy change being promoted in Olympia by NAIOP is a value capture financing proposal that would facilitate the funding of infrastructure, he adds. That in turn could enable development that might not otherwise be feasible."
