Design, Development Advances for Mass-Timber Office in Bellevue, Washington

Skanska announced continued progress on Bevel, its planned 12-story mass-timber office tower in downtown Bellevue, Washington. The project remains in the architectural design and entitlement phase with the city of Bellevue as Skanska, Mithun + Waugh Thistleton and other project partners continue to advance plans for one of the most innovative and sustainable office developments in the Pacific Northwest.

The office is being planned as an approximately 200,000 rentable square-foot workplace environment that combines mass-timber construction, biophilic design and an amenitized user experience focused on the customer. The project will be adjacent to The Eight — Skanska’s recently completed office tower in Bellevue, which is currently 90% leased.

Bevel is targeting LEED v4 Platinum, Fitwel 2-Star, and Salmon-Safe certifications. When complete, Bevel is expected to be among the tallest mass-timber office towers in the U.S. and one of the most significant commercial mass-timber office developments in the commercial real estate industry.

The building will feature a mass-timber structural system above grade, supported by a steel core and below-grade concrete parking structure. Bevel also highlights the growing role of the Pacific Northwest’s timber and manufacturing ecosystem in advancing lower-carbon construction solutions while supporting regional economic activity.
