Among the many projects up for consideration in Downtown Bellevue, a significant faction stands out for the sheer scale of its developments. These projects are defined by being constructed in multiple phases, consisting of multiple mid-rises to skyscrapers, including hundreds of dwelling units, and adding millions of square feet of commercial space and thousands of parking spaces to Bellevue’s cityscape. As they come into fruition, major segments of or whole blocks will be transformed. For good or ill, these mega-projects will likely define Downtown Bellevue for generations to come.
To help guide you on this tour of Bellevue’s standout development proposals, a map of the developments can be found below. This map includes some mega-projects that have been completed and are under construction, which have also been detailed in their own article. On the map, the exceptional projects are designated with a “downtown” icon. These proposals and construction sites can roughly be clustered into four areas: the northwest approach to the core, the skyscraper downtown center, a southern cluster, and a row by I-405.
