Rising 17 stories in the heart of Seattle’s revitalized waterfront neighborhood, Cyrene redefines the cityscape and signals a new era for Seattle’s urban experience. Inspired by the surrounding brick warehouse buildings and the iconic smokestack of the nearby steam plant, Cyrene blends nostalgic charm with modern sophistication, creating a striking addition to the waterfront. The design brings together clean, contemporary elements with classic materials, including East Coast-style brick masonry and a modern window-wall system that reflects the vibrant patterns and textures of its surroundings. The result is a building that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. The Cyrene takes full advantage of its prime location, offering breathtaking views of Elliott Bay and the city from nearly every corner of the building. An offset core design opens up panoramic vistas of both the water and the cityscape, making the most of the revitalized waterfront. At street level, residents can easily access the waterfront via a lounge and fitness room, while the rooftop deck on the 17th floor offers a community space with a large kitchen and sweeping views of the bay. Private outdoor terraces on the seventh floor offer quiet spaces with views of the Seattle skyline, creating a perfect blend of private and communal living. Cyrene is a sustainable and forward-thinking development, utilizing excess steam from its neighboring plant for heating and excess condensate for cooling. Its exterior—a seamless mix of traditional brick and sleek modern elements—reflects the city’s evolving character while paying homage to its industrial roots. With its modern amenities, sophisticated design, and thoughtful integration into the waterfront neighborhood, Cyrene sets the stage for the future of Seattle’s post-Viaduct urban landscape. It’s not just a building; it’s a new chapter in the city’s architectural story.
