The Post is a decidedly modern residential tower. Yet it speaks to the medley of styles, heights, and character drawn from the historic buildings in the adjacent Pioneer Square and downtown financial district. A wealth of amenities and compact units target young professionals looking for a vibrant and urban home.
A glass curtain-wall incorporates terra cotta elements of various scales that relate to these neighboring buildings. Contemporary materials are used thoughtfully to underscore the relationships of scale and context with the surrounding neighborhood. A transparent two-story structure, “The Cube,” sits in a landscaped public plaza linking The Post to the Colman Ferry Pedestrian Bridge. An adjacent stair and elevator structure connects this bridge with the retail on Post and Western Avenue. These high quality retail spaces with 20 foot high ceilings and large glass panes create inviting storefront entries along the building’s entire Western Avenue frontage, and on most of Post Avenue.
Along Post Avenue, the building is held back to relieve the slender street and create an active retail and pedestrian zone with festoon lighting strung between The Post and neighboring Colman Building. This illumination creates a sense of canopy and an active outdoor space with a festive atmosphere.
