Architecture firm Pickard Chilton recently announced the completion of The Eight, a mixed-use high-rise in downtown Bellevue, Wash. At almost 800,000 sf total, the 25-story building includes about 500,000 sf of office space, 11,000 sf of retail, and five levels of below-grade parking for tenants.

Developed by Skanska USA Commercial Development, the tower features a carbon-efficient, heavy timber pavilion that serves as the entry for the ground-level public amenity spaces. The pavilion’s extended canopy blurs the line between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A publicly accessible lobby lounge called the Living Room opens onto the public plaza.

Although no revised completion dates were announced for the project known as Ohio One, Intel's chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan said in a July 24 earnings call that "we will further slow the pace of construction in Ohio to ensure that spending is aligned with market demand."

The project, which is being led by general contractor Bechtel, includes 2.5 million sq ft of buildings including 600,000 sq ft of clean room production space.
