History

The triangular lot on the southeast side of Denny Way and Fairview Avenue was home to a two-story office and retail building named the Denny Center, which was built in 1937. [2] [3] The lot was purchased by Vancouver-based Bosa Properties for $8 million in May 2007, with plans to not redevelop the building immediately. [4] The firm filed plans to build a 450-unit residential tower on the property with the city government in September 2015. Bosa Properties, owned by Robert Bosa, was joined in the Denny Triangle neighborhood by Bosa Development (owned by his brother, Nat Bosa), who developed the Insignia Towers complex. [5]

A preliminary design for the 41-story tower by ZGF Architects and Cotter Architects was unveiled in November 2015, featuring rounded edges to contrast with the "sharp, rectangular" designs of nearby high-rises. [6] [7] The tower's design underwent six revisions through consultations with the city government by the time its final environmental impact statement was released in February 2017. [3] The project, renamed the Denny Centre, began construction in August 2018, a few months after the existing building had been demolished. [8] To replace construction site visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted cross-border travel for the developers and architects based in Canada, remote tours via 360-degree video were used by the contractors on the project. [9] The tower is expected to be completed in late 2021. [1]

Design

Denny Centre is a 42-story high-rise with 442 apartment units and a three-story podium with 10,000 square feet (930 m2) of retail space. The tower will have 308 parking stalls in a five-story underground garage accessed from Virginia Street. [3] The tower has an undulating façade with softened edges, inspired by the "collision between two city grids". [6] [10]
