The Puget Sound Business Journal reports:
Real estate developer Greg Smith said he plans to build the tallest skyscraper in downtown Seattle on a site where the famous Metropolitan Grill steakhouse operates.
At 77 stories, it would be one floor taller than Seattle’s tallest building, Columbia Center.
Sounds cool—but I’ll believe it when the project actually has financing and a master use permit. Seattle’s last boom cycle brought us tons of developers ballyhooing extravagant proposals without moving a teaspoon of dirt.
