Kinects is an under construction skyscraper in the Denny Triangle neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The 440-foot-tall (130 m), 40-story tower will have 357 apartments and 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) restaurant at its base when completed in July 2017.[1][2][3] The building is located along Minor Avenue between Stewart and Howell streets, on the same block as the under construction Tilt 49 complex as well as the cancelled Daola Tower.

The building is wedge-shaped, with the upper floors flaring out on three sides by 6 inches (150 mm) per floor. It will also feature a rooftop swimming pool and other amenities.[4]

The tower was originally approved for construction in 2008 and was to break ground the following year,[5] but was put on hold during the Great Recession. Developer Security Properties revived the project in 2014 and began construction in February 2015.[6][7] Kinects was designed by Bumgardner Architects[8] out of Seattle, Washington.
