The first market-rate housing project in the city of Seattle to be certified through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Environment and Energy Design (LEED) program, Alcyone is a 161-unit, seven-story apartment building located in the redeveloping South Lake Union neighborhood. Covering nearly half a block, the structure comprises a mix of loft apartments, studios, and one- and two-bedroom units. Alcyone was designed to conserve water in excess of code requirements by 25 percent, and to use 30 percent less energy than code-based standards for the equivalent of about $40,000 in yearly savings throughout the complex. In addition, 95 percent of the construction waste was diverted from landfills.
