Rainier Square Tower is a proposed mixed-use skyscraper in the Metropolitan Tract of Seattle, Washington. The 850-foot (260 m) tall, 58-story tower will be located at Union Street between 4th and 5th Avenues adjacent to the existing Rainier Tower, and will be the second-tallest building in Seattle upon completion. The $600 million project is scheduled to begin construction in 2017 and be completed by 2019.
The tower, designed by NBBJ, will feature nearly 200 luxury apartment units, 750,000 square feet of office space, and 30,000 square feet of retail space, as well as a 12-story hotel with approximately 150 rooms in a separate building. Six levels of below-grade parking will accommodate up to 1,000 vehicles. The tower will have a unique, "sloping" appearance, starting with a wide base and gradually becoming slimmer at higher floors. Early designs had the taper beginning at a higher floor, but it was lowered so as not to obscure views of Rainier Tower's well-known "pedestal" base. On December 3, 2015, the city approved the master use plan, paving the way for construction to begin.
