The Insignia Towers are a pair of 41-story residential skyscrapers on a shared podium in the Denny Regrade neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States.[1] The towers have a combined 698 condominiums and were developed by Canadian firm Bosa Development.[2][3] The complex includes 36,000 square feet (3,300 m2) of retail space, an underground parking garage with 900 stalls, and amenity areas for residents in both towers.[4][5]
The Insignia project was announced by another developer, Vancouver-based Embassy Development, in 2006 with a design of two towers by Perkins & Company.[6] The full city block was acquired in 2007 from Clise Properties for $49.9 million. The 440-foot (130 m) condominium towers were planned to include sustainable features, such as heat pumps, and received planning approval from the city government and planned to begin construction in 2008.[7][8] Embassy paused work on Insignia due to the late-2000s recession and later sold its stake in the project to Bosa Development, which announced plans to restart work in 2012 after market conditions had improved.[4][7] Amazon had begun construction of their new headquarters campus nearby, which triggered new interest in condominium development in the Denny Regrade.[4][9]
The project was the largest post-recession residential development in Seattle and cost an estimated $450 million.[10] Construction of the complex's south tower began in June 2012, with plans to complete the foundation and underground portions for both towers but leave the north tower for a later phase.[11] Preliminary work on the north tower began in September 2013.[12] The south tower topped out in August 2014 and was finished in July 2015.[2][13] The north tower was completed in 2016, with three units in the entire complex still for sale.[14] The final unit, a two-bedroom penthouse, was sold in March 2017.[3]
