Owned by the City
of Seattle and managed by CBRE, Inc., Seattle Municipal Tower is a
62-story, 1.2 million-square-foot office high rise in downtown
Seattle, Washington. Designed by renowned Seattle architect Fred
Bassetti, the building was completed in 1990 and purchased by the
City of Seattle in 1996. The tower features an exterior of warm red
granite topped by a 5-story sloped glass roof and graduated terraces
on floors 53-56 that were designed to signify Seattle's upward slope
from Elliott Bay to the upper hills. Amenities and services include
a Starbucks, hair salon, art galleries & sundry/gift store.
Over the last 5
years, CBRE, Inc,. has worked with the building owner in reviewing
and executing a number of upgrades for reduced energy/consumption in
building systems including plumbing, lighting, and electrical
projects. In 2003, a water consumption savings of 2.9 gallons per
flush (gpf) was achieved by replacing 275 toilets with 1.6 gpf
units. In 2007, autofaucets were added to the 100 restrooms in the
building. Energy-saving measures in building lighting have included
motion sensors, upgraded overrides, and a stairwell lighting
retrofit (higher-efficiency lamps). At the close of 2009, a lighting
retrofit for all overhead office lights was completed. The older
3-bulb fixtures were removed and replaced with high efficiency
2-bulb fixtures. CBRE has implemented modified lighting and HVAC
schedules on tenant floors in 2008. The building's power factor was
significantly improved in 2008 due to the installation of harmonics filters.
The City of
Seattle and CBRE continue to reach out to our tenants, contractors,
guests, and public citizens in order to spread the word that energy
efficiency is good for the environment.
