Amazon has gained initial approval for its plan to build a huge greenhouse in the middle of Seattle. The proposal has three transparent domes intersecting to form a five-story complex that will contain offices, dining areas, and retail stores. It’s nestled between the three buildings that make up the company’s giant new campus,; a trio of towers all taller than 70 stories.
The proposal has now passed the regulatory questions posed by Seattle’s design review board, which unanimously endorsed the plans. The only thing standing between Amazon and a building permit now is the city’s planning and development department. A permit is usually issued in a month, and sources close to the plans tell us the design is unlikely to be opposed.
