A proposed building on a small chunk of land in the Denny Triangle could cause a big to-do. The Trophy Building, proposed by developer Pb Elemental, is a 440 foot tower on less than a 3,000 square foot piece of land. The building’s design and structure are interesting and innovative, however it’s not what many Seattle residents are gossiping about regarding this tower.

The Trophy building is to contain 19 total units, one unit short of requiring review by the city’s design and review board, which has caused many eyebrows to be raised. It’s difficult to fathom a skyscraper of this magnitude could be erected with no input or guidance from the city, especially in the wake of the widely publicized Cosmopolitan fiasco. To add to the illogicality of the situation, the Trophy Building is 40 feet taller than any other proposed residential tower in its proximity, and yet it appears to be the only exception to the review process.

According to the developer, avoiding review was unintentional, although it does bring up some questions as to whether or not other developers will take advantage of this loophole in the future and what the city will do, if anything, to close it. *Info Courtesy of The Stranger
