RENTON, Wash., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SECO Development, Inc. has received all design review and master plan approvals for the construction of three Class A high-tech nine-story office buildings, Southport Waterfront Corporate Campus; the final phase of the $570 million 17.1-acre Southport Development, a mix of office, retail, restaurants, luxury apartments and a 4-star hotel and convention center on Lake Washington. The project reflects the demand for premium office space by international and domestic corporations in the Greater Seattle area, the fastest growing large city in the U.S. The Southport Project is in Renton, WA, centrally located between Seattle, the City of Bellevue and SeaTac Airport, serving 37.4 million annual visitors. The project has waterfront views of Lake Washington, the Seattle Skyline, Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier and is adjacent to the 55-acre Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.
The Southport Waterfront Campus is a high-tech corporate center with 100% fiber Gigabit Passive Optic Network (GPON) with access up to 100 GB data speeds. The LEED approved development was designed by the renowned firm of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca (ZGF) Architects LLP. The Waterfront Corporate Campus adds 725,510 square-feet of Class A office space, 10,390 square-feet of ground floor retail, and 2078 dedicated structured parking spaces to the Renton, Kirkland, Bellevue, Mercer Island and Seattle area.
"The Southport Corporate Campus is superior in design, location and technology, and is competitively priced for companies seeking large scale office space or corporate centers in proximity to the world's leading high-tech firms, including, Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Southport has a deep water port and a 200-foot dock to accommodate world-class yachts to entertain business associates, host a company outing or launch a new product. Southport is ideally located to host high-tech companies traveling on an international stage, and Renton has available housing at a cost well below Seattle and the other east side communities," said Michael Christ, owner, SECO Development.
The Southport development includes the already completed and leased 383-luxury apartments, 24,138 square-feet of commercial space, and the 350-room luxury Hotel at Southport under construction. The hotel is the only 4-star resort less than eight miles from the SeaTac Airport and will feature a 43,000 square-foot convention center, restaurant, spa and 23,000 square-feet of waterfront courtyards, roof-top terraces and plazas. The Hotel at Southport is an EB-5 partially funded project with Seattle Family Regional Center.
The Southport development is 7.9 miles from SeaTac, the largest airport in the Pacific Northwest, nine miles from Boeing Field, designated as one of the "100 most needed airports in the country" by the National Transportation Association, and less than two miles from Renton Municipal Airport, also serving corporate jet travel with direct seaplane service to Canada and to the San Juan Islands.
