Harbor Properties Inc. may pull out of plans to build several new Belltown apartments that were scheduled to be constructed next year. "We are not sure we can attract (investment) capital or financing for the next round of building in 2009," said Harbor CEO Doug Daley.

Harbor's proposed projects encompass nearly 1,000 apartment units sprinkled across the Belltown, West Seattle, Columbia City and the Central District neighborhoods of Seattle. Ouch.

Any Belltowners have real estate hardships of their own during this financial crisis?

Yet more construction on the way for our evergrowing Belltown. It looks like two 440 foot high rise towers are on their way on the corner of 2nd ave. and Virginia st. The first tower will be a 38-story building with 139 hotel rooms, 186 residences above them, street-level shops and parking for 294 vehicles.

The second tower, located across the street to the north, will mirror the first in design, however only contain residences and street-level retail.

Both of the buildings are being developed by The Justen Co. LLC of Seattle and Columbia West Properties Inc. of Bellevue. Community members are encouraged to attend a meeting with the city's Design Review Board who will determine whether the developers have complied with all guidelines. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Ave., Room L280.

Right behind Top Pot donuts, on 6th and Blanchard...

Two 24-story apartment towers. Construction begins in 2009.

Construction workers have descended on Denny Way and 6th Ave. over the last couple months (which, by the way, is this technically Belltown?) So far, the only thing left standing is the Starbucks gas station and the boarded-up Bank of America. So what are they building? I found this nifty map on Seattle Condos and Lofts with all the details.

Hyatt Place Hotel & Condominium will occupy a 9-story building just to the west of the Starbucks. A 7-story apartment building is going up behind Starbucks. A 6-story apartment complex called Taylor 28 is going up in the block surrounding the old Bank of America. And the big daddy of them all, the 29-story ICON Tower (pictured), will be built right across the street from Starbucks in that triangular lot.

I don't know about you, but it will be odd to see a building that tall that far north (and relatively close to the Space Needle.)

According to a listing on Craigslist, there are currently studio apartments in a "great location" for the low price of $475 a month. "Funky" is one of those adjectives that leaves a lot to the imagination, but then again you never know. This may be a perfect opportunity for someone who wants to live in the Belltown neighborhood but doesn't exactly have the budget.
