Facebook leases Vulcan’s Arbor Blocks

By BRIAN MILLER
Journal staff reporter

Vulcan Real Estate announced it has pre-leased the office space in the Arbor Blocks project in South Lake Union to Facebook.

The two six-story buildings are slated to begin construction later this month on opposite sides of Eighth Avenue North, between Harrison and Thomas streets.

Arbor West will be at 333 Eighth Ave. N. and Arbor East will be at 300 Eighth Ave. N.

They are scheduled for completion in 2018, with about 384,000 square feet of office space and 4,100 square feet of street-level retail.

The block on Eighth Avenue will be transformed with a pedestrian friendly woonerf. Some existing trees on the site will be preserved and the team will aim for LEED gold and Salmon-Safe certification.

In a statement, Vulcan’s Ada Healey said, “We’re excited to work with Facebook to help them expand their footprint in South Lake Union. We designed the Arbor Blocks with technology tenants in mind and Facebook is an ideal tenant to kick-off the project.”

The company estimates the overall project cost at $246 million.

Vulcan’s project team includes architect Graphite Design Group, landscape architect Hewitt and general contractor Lease Crutcher Lewis.
