Occupancy is expected to begin in the second half of 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Located at 2001 Eighth Ave., West8 is strategically positioned between the city\u2019s thriving tech hub and established business district, and offers convenient access to regional transit, premier dining, and cultural amenities.<\/p>\n<p>Originally completed in 2009, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2024 that enhanced the arrival experience and introduced a best-in-class amenities floor that was specifically designed to support modern, flexible workstyles.<\/p>\n<p>West8 incorporates more than 521,000 square feet of rentable office space that is LEED Platinum- and Energy Star-certified, in addition to about 18,000 square feet of retail and a nearly 500-space parking structure. Featuring floor-to-ceiling glass; outdoor terraces that take the workplace experience beyond the floorplate; as well as integrated fitness and conference facilities, the property offers an efficient, high-performance environment that was designed to prioritize well-being, connectivity, and long-term value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to welcome Foster Garvey to West8,\u201d said Rob Paratte, chief leasing officer of Kilroy Realty. \u201cThis lease execution underscores the strength of Seattle\u2019s office market and the appeal of thoughtfully designed workplaces that support the operational needs of leading professional services firms. West8 continues to attract quality tenants who value connectivity, sustainability, and best-in-class building amenities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kilroy Realty purchased the tower in 2021 for $490 million. At the time, the property was mostly occupied by Amazon, which remained until 2023.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46998\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
