SEATTLE — As expected, Macy’s has sold the remaining, soon-to-be vacant bottom floors of its iconic full-block building at 300 Pine St. 

As many of you downtown shoppers know, Pacific Place has been undergoing some major renovations.

Pacific Place, long a prominent shopping center of downtown Seattle, hit a milestone with its redevelopment project this week with the completion of its new entrance at Seventh Avenue and Olive Way.

All are invited to an opening ceremony and ribbon cutting at Glacier Middle School on Thursday, Oct. 24, followed by a tour of the new school.  This event will be held from 5 – 6:30 p.m. at the new school, located at 2450 South 142nd Street in SeaTac (map below).

Bayley is about to wrap up the remodel and expansion of the 12,500 SF George and Vi Wellik Wickenburg Community Services Center.  The Center will replace the existing 6,400 SF facility. The center will house the CAP office, Wise Owl Senior Center, home delivery meals, food bank, mobile food pantry, and the Freedom Express senior transportation program under one roof. This centralized location for senior services will significantly increase WCSC and the Foundation for Senior Living’s ability to provide services to Wickenburg’s rapidly growing senior population.

Construction has started at Bayley's newest project in Suncadia.  The 13,900 SF wood framed Great House at Tumble Creek is intended to be the central hub of the Tumble Creek Community. The building includes a Dining Room and Bar with outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green which is 75’ below in the valley.  Amenities on the main level includes Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms and Lounges, and Golf Simulator.  The basement is a family entertainment center with Bowling Alley, Game Room, Craft Room and Media Room.  The interior décor includes high exposed wood ceilings and wood paneling giving it the mountain lodge look.  This project is scheduled to be completed in December of 2020.

The Bayley team is hard at work at one of Seattle’s largest architecture firms, CallisonRTKL, currently undergoing a year long office renovation to better reflect the culture and brand of the company and to improve employees health and well being.
