“The Emerald is grounded in the quality of its address. Located within the confluence of Pike Place Market, Downtown, and the Belltown neighborhood, the tower's shape and form are responsive to a shift in the City street grid pattern. These fundamental site conditions of shape, size and location were generators of the architectural concept – a slender tower form of shifting angles offering water, mountain, and City skyline views. A concept that strikes a balance between the dynamic energy of the neighborhood and the embrace of home.”
