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?

A little to our south, the Four Seasons & Private Residences is taking shape and you can see pictures here of the view from a $15.8 million condo with separate quarters for the staff.

Real Estate agent James Stroupe took the pictures at 99 Union St.

The Belltown tie-in is that Kerry Sear, owner of Belltown's Cascadia Restaurant, will be the executive chef for the new Four Seasons ART restaurant.

It's going to be so interesting to see Belltown in ten years from now. It just keeps growing and growing. Sources are revealing that Belltown will be home to yet another condo project, on Elliott Avenue at Cedar Street.

The developers, who bought the 14,400-square-foot property for 5.1 million dollars, say they plan to begin development in a few years.

The Escala, the much anticipated 31 story condominium building that is planned to tower over 4th and Virginia, will arrive sometime in 2009. The Escala recently won three Gold awards including Best condo floor plan at The Nationals 2008, the nation's "largest and most prestigious competition" in the homebuilding industry. From an onsite spa to a private dinner club, this place seems like it will be pretty darn spectacular.

Although it's hard at this point to believe the lump of dirt and beams I walked past today will soon become an extravagant tower.

before... and after.

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.)
