Vulcan announced today it is working with Google to build four office buildings with 607,000 square feet in South Lake Union on Mercer Street, between Terry and Fairview.

Market-rate housing will be on the upper floors.

Graphite Design Group is the architect and Runberg Architecture Group is consulting on the residential portion. GLY Construction is the general contractor.

The six-story buildings will be built in phases, starting by 2017. Completion is set for 2019.

Vulcan will separately develop 14,000 square feet of ground floor retail for restaurants and shops. Parking will be below grade.

A pedestrian-friendly through-block woonerf is planned between Terry and Boren.

Google’s Seattle site lead, Clyde McQueen, said, “We’ve loved being in the Fremont neighborhood but will need a bit more breathing room.”

In addition to the office space for Google, Vulcan will construct two residential towers with a total of 151 apartments. The towers will be eight or nine stories above the six-story office podiums at the southeast corner of Valley and Boren, and the northeast corner of Terry and Mercer.
