Columbia Center podium remodel was one of the most complex tenant improvements in Seattle history.

Columbia Center Podium Remodel

Location: Seattle

General contractor: Lease Crutcher Lewis

Lewis renovated the four-level base of Seattle's tallest building, working around over 10,000 tenants, food court diners and tourists per day. This was one of the most complex tenant improvements in Seattle history. The company extended two existing elevators down two floors to serve as an express to the observation level, added a concrete deck, built a grand stair and fully rebuilt finishes and systems including new ceilings and new microtopping floor over existing brick. The Fourth Avenue main entrance was rebuilt as a three-story glass vestibule addition, including three stories of curtainwall and a living wall of plantings. Exterior terraces gained wood and stone benches, blackened steel planters, glass canopy and a fireplace. All of this occurred over 14 months while every business and major entry was kept open.
