2200 Westlake filling up

Speaking of Whole Foods, one of the company's other new stores is slated for 2200 Westlake, the big mixed-use development that Paul Allen's company, Vulcan, is putting up in the Denny Triangle area, on the southern border of the South Lake Union neighborhood.

That development, in turn, is proving to be an interesting measure of demand for condos in that part of the city. And apparently the demand is high. This recent Seattle Times story, about Vulcan buying out its development partner, noted that sales agreements have been reached for more than 95 percent of the condos in the project.
