I thought you might like to see the current construction progress going on in a neighborhood that has had quite a rapid infrastructure and skyline face lift over the past five years. Amazon.com's new world headquarters is under construction in the Cascade / South Lake Union neighborhood (read all about it here). You can see a great deal of it rising in the background to the left. The campus, comprised of up to eleven new buildings and open public spaces will span a four city block corridore between Terry and Boran. The first two of six phases were to be completed for occupancy by the middle of this year, with the entire campus being completed and occupied by 2012.
Changes are also coming for the historic Naval Reserve Building seen prominently on the waterfront of this shot. In 2012 the Museum of History and Industry will move from its current digs in the Montlake neighborhood to these restored and refurbished new digs around which the new Lake Union Park has been built. The grand scale, long-term changes to make it possible for the Cascade / South Lake Union area to support a thriving and inviting bio-tech and high tech business hub seems to be heading for the home stretch now.
