Challenges/Results
The First and King building was a very difficult remodel for MJR Development. Any remodel of an old, historic building is complicated, but this particular project was made thorny by several outside factors. Getting the project approved by the City of Seattle was difficult, as was the approval by the Pioneer Square Design Board. Additionally, the tenant for the building was very demanding, requiring modern systems throughout a 1910 building. The finished product makes every hiccup worth it. The creative design blended two new floors with four old floors and was completed on schedule, within budge completion.
