Pacific Place is an upscale shopping center located in downtown Seattle, Washington on Sixth Avenue and Pine Street. Opened in October 1998, the shopping center has a total area of 335,000 square feet (31,100 m2). Of its 5 floors, the top floor features an 11-screen AMC Theatre (formerly by General Cinema) and various restaurants. On the mid level the center has an entrance to the Barney's store. The concourse level includes a Barnes & Noble bookstore, AT&T and GameStop. Pacific Place also features a skybridge that connects it to Seattle's Nordstrom. During the holidays, it 'snows' every night at 6 p.m. in the atrium.
Pacific Place was sold on July 14, 2014 for $271M to Madison Marquette, a Washington, D.C.-based commercial real estate company.
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.[1]
