SEATTLE, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hines, the international real estate firm, along with Benenson Capital Partners and USAA Real Estate, today announced Main Street Place, a 6.75-acre, mixed-use development in downtown Bellevue, Washington.
The development will consist of approximately 1.2 million square feet of new high-rise office product on the north side of the site, enjoying expansive, unobstructed southern views, as well as approximately 400 units of low-rise apartments on the south portion. The ground plane will feature a dynamic pedestrian experience with approximately 90,000 square feet of retail and amenity spaces, along with public open space and pedestrian corridors throughout the site.
Main Street Place will be an exciting addition to Bellevue, one of the most active submarkets in the Seattle area. It will sit less than one block away from a future light rail station, scheduled to open in 2023, which will connect this site to downtown Seattle, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond.
"The project's location, flexibility and nearly a full super block in land area create the opportunity to deliver a new portal into downtown Bellevue," said Ty Bennion, senior managing director at Hines. "This along with exceptional placemaking and ground-plane design will set Main Street Place apart from anything that currently exists in Bellevue. We are thrilled to be partnering with USAA Real Estate and Benenson Capital Partners on what we believe is one of the most exciting opportunities for community creation in our market."
The project is being developed on a long-term ground lease with Benenson Capital Partners, a 115-year-old, family-owned company based in New York City. The Benenson family has owned the site for decades, originally acquiring the Albertson's grocery store that initially inhabited the project and subsequently developing the retail center that currently exists.
"We are excited to bring the shared vision of Hines and the Benenson Capital to Main Street Place. We believe this development, with its proximity to the light rail system, stirring design and diversity of elements will create a wonderful vitality in downtown Bellevue," said Richard Kessler, chief operating officer of Benenson Capital Partners.

"Likewise, we are enthusiastic about launching this partnership with Hines and Benenson Capital Company to build this exciting mixed-use district in Bellevue," stated Carrington Brown, managing director of development for USAA Real Estate. "Main Street Place reinforces USAA Real Estate's build-to-core strategy of investing in Class A, mixed-use projects in high-demand areas."
Main Street Place's planning and design reflect the values and promise of Bellevue. Amenities are abundant, including activated collaboration spaces and user-friendly outdoor common areas. Dramatic views can be found while exploring the public spaces, reinforcing an intimacy of experience between the occupants and place. Green living and the latest in sustainable design solutions are integral to the framework of the project.
"Our intention for Main Street Place is to create a vibrant, active and engaging mixed-use neighborhood that emphasizes quality of life," said Doug Hocking, design principal at KPF. "The project's friendly internal courts prioritize pedestrian comfort with social mixing areas that are energized with inspirational public art and framed views to Mount Rainier. We're excited to create a new town center in Bellevue and support the area's growth with vibrant and exciting mixed-use architecture."
The design team working on the project include lead designer Kohn Pedersen Fox as well as GGLO, A+I, Design Workshop and MKA. Additionally, a team led by Steve Kohn of Cushman & Wakefield served as developer consultant for Benenson Capital.
