Washington Square (Bellevue, Washington)

[citation needed] It consists of four or five high-rise towers with residential, office, and hotels, as well as 160,000 square feet (15,000 m2) of ground-level retail space.

To prevent foreclosure, Horback enlisted the assistance of Dell Loy Hansen and his company, Wasatch Development Associates, based in Utah.

Each tower encompasses 24 stories and is designed with slab thicknesses and column spacing capable of withstanding the seismic and wind loading common in the Northwest region.

Instead of positioning the concrete "shear core" around the elevator shaft as typically done in high-rise construction, it was relocated to the perimeter of the interior hallway.

Apart from providing a sleek exterior appearance, the curtain wall system minimizes the presence of ledges or caulk joints that could allow moisture penetration.
