"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.
