Pacific Place is an upscale shopping center in downtown Seattle, Washington, United States. Opened on October 29, 1998, it is located at 6th Avenue and Pine Street and has a total area of 335,000 square feet (31,100 m2). It has five floors, the uppermost of which features an 11-screen AMC Theatre (formerly General Cinema) and various restaurants. The concourse level includes Barnes & Noble, AT&T and GameStop stores. Pacific Place also features a skybridge that connects it to Seattle's Nordstrom flagship. During the Christmas season, there is an artificial snow display every night at 6 p.m. in the atrium.
On July 14, 2014, Pacific Place was sold for $271 million to Madison Marquette, a Washington, D.C.-based commercial real estate company.[3] On September 2016, Madison Marquette completed the purchase of the Pacific Place parking garage from the city of Seattle for $87 million.[4] A redevelopment of the mall was announced on March 2017 to expand space for shops and remodel the common areas.[5] After over two years of redevelopment, Pacific Placed reopened in June 2020.[6][7] Throughout 2021, small independent shops and art non-profits have utilized vacancy spaces for business and artistic activities.[8]
Scandal[]
In a 1998 article by Mark Worth, the Seattle Weekly revealed that consultants linked to Pacific Place developer Jeff Rhodes had secured a $47 million low-interest loan to help build a for-profit parking garage beneath the mall. The loan was obtained through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, a government agency whose mission is to support low-income housing and other needy projects. The parking garage also served a Nordstrom store across the street.[9]
