John D. Rockefeller was left holding the bag after the collapse of the real estate market after the 1929 Crash, but decided to soldier on ahead anyway, confident that the space had long-term value. Time will tell if SLU will be the same long-term success... and if 2000s architecture will age as gracefully as that of the 1930s.

All this development to build an area with zero character. Blech. South Lake Union is getting plenty of money thrown at it, but money can’t buy soul.
