Project Details

Bellevue Station will be constructed on less than 2 acres of land previously occupied by an industrial facility. The project was designed by Encore Architects. Legacy Partners has not yet broken ground on the property and expects to complete construction by the first quarter of 2025.

Bellevue Station is near I-405 and SR-520 and is within walking distance of the under-construction Bellevue Downtown Station on Sound Transit’s East Link light rail system, which will connect residents with downtown Seattle. Residents will have access to many of the area’s technology and e-commerce employers.
