Bellevue Towers is the largest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified residential development in the Pacific Northwest with its energy-efficient glass facade, low-flow plumbing fixtures, dual-flush toilets, rooftop garden between the towers, and efficient condensing boiler.[1] The $436 million project was developed by Gerding Edlen and built by Hoffman Construction Company.[2] The project was not a financial success: Gerding Edlen could not pay off its loans, and had to turn the project over to their lender in 2011.[3]
