"Simply called 2200, it's an ambitious combination condominium, hotel (and more) development one of five of its kind going up in the Seattle area and changing the concept of luxury condo living...Much of the impetus for this hotel-condo trend is stirred by the state's Growth Management Act, which requires cities to accommodate growth. Seattle's leaders want to add 35,000 luxury to low-income housing units downtown, increasing its population from 16,000 in 2000 to 65,000 within a few years."
