One of Seattle's most recognizable locations began work on sweeping changes on June 24, 2015.
"Construction has begun on the Pike Place Market expansion project, the first addition to the Market in 40 years," reports Ben Crowther.
A 23,400 square foot residential building and 8,000 square feet of retail space are among the planned additions. "There will be an opportunity to build an additional 28,000 square feet of retail space via an existing sky bridge," adds Cowther.
The article also includes a series of renderings showcasing the design work of architecture firm Miller Hull. Construction is expected to be complete in late 2016.
