SEATTLE—The Olive 8 building, a 39-story hotel/condominium building located in downtown Seattle, has officially received LEED Silver from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a first for hotel/condominium buildings in the Seattle area. As the first mixed-use hotel and residential project to be LEED certified in Seattle, Olive 8 has been recognized as a high-performance building that is a responsible and efficient place to live, vacation and work. The cornerstone Hyatt at Olive 8 hotel located within the Olive 8 building is now also one of only 20 hotels in the United States to be officially designated “green” by the LEED (Leadership in Energy and environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. Olive 8 was planned and developed by R.C. Hedreen Co. Realizing the value of green building early on, R.C. Hedreen did a redesign of the original building plans to ensure Olive 8 would meet the LEED certification standards.
