7west – (1810 Washington Avenue South)

Here are a few pics from the street level - concrete is starting to rise out of the ground.

The higher floor units in here are going to have a lovely view of campus.

This actually has a fairly large profile when you're looking at it from across the river. Didn't get a shot (I was on the bus) but it makes the West Bank/Seven Corners area stand out a lot more.

I had an errand at the U, came up the hill from the river, and was greeted by this.

This is pretty prominent from across the river.

This is pretty prominent from across the river.

I noticed that, too, when I was over there recently. It will probably fade into the background somewhat once the exterior cladding is finished.

As always, thanks for all the photos. I just went ahead and added UrbanMSP as a flickr contact

I did not realize there would be so much orange.

Looks like they took 4 minutes to think and worked some of the utility penetrations into the design. Refreshing.

That pic misses the brick money shot in what I assume is a lobby/common area. I'll have to swing by on my way home today and snap a picture.

Oh, Hello Seattle! Pretty cool, they switched some stuff up. I like.

[FISHMANPET]

I grabbed these last week, but forgot to post them:
The first is what looks to be the lobby in the middle of the building on the East side


The second is the South East corner, to show some brick porn, becuase we love brick porn.

Giggity Giggity Brickity...

What is that crazy ramp looking thing in the middle?

[FISHMANPET]

I'm pretty sure it's just an open roof to provide shade on the patio.

These wooden buildings look much better without those hanging balconies. That makes many of the projects near the U the best of the bunch.

[twincitizen]

Perhaps, but I sure as hell wouldn't pay $2/SF for an apartment without a balcony.

[MNdible]

For as big of a deal that developers make about the little balconies that they tack on their buildings, I never see anybody actually using them.
