Wonder Bread site going residential

Looks like redevelopment plans are proceeding on the old Interstate Bakeries site in Seattle's Central Area, best known for the neon Wonder Bread sign on top of the building. According to this notice published by the city this week, a developer has submitted plans for a six-story, 253-unit residential building on the site, with ground-floor retail space.

See this earlier Seattle P-I story for details on the debate over what to do with that iconic sign. Seems like it would be a good landmark to distinguish the building -- the "Wonder Bread Apartments," maybe? -- but an executive with the developer, Fairfield Residential LLC, told the paper that the company doesn't plan to incorporate the sign into the project.
