Tilt 49 is a mixed-use building complex in Seattle, Washington, that is currently under construction. It consists of two buildings, both facing Boren Avenue between Stewart and Howell streets: a 36-story, 440-foot-tall (130 m) residential skyscraper with 368 apartments to the south; and an 11-story, 307,296-square-foot (28,548.7 m2) office building with retail space to the north.[3] Tilt 49 shares this block with the under construction Kinects residential tower as well as the cancelled Daola Tower.[1][2]
Developers Touchstone proposed the building in 2014 and bought the site, then a Goodyear Tires store and surface parking lot, for $16.6 million.[4] Construction began in June 2015 and is anticipated to be complete in 2017.[5]
The name of the project, Tilt 49, refers to the 49-degree angle at which the Denny Triangle neighborhood is aligned relative to true north, facing instead towards waterfront property on Elliott Bay owned by Arthur A. Denny (for whom the neighborhood is named).[6]
