Driven by rapid advances in medicine and technology, the life sciences market is going through a period of accelerated innovation — one that is having a significant impact on company culture and the physical workplace itself. Design solutions are far more bold than they used to be. Healthy, vibrant, and resilient spaces have become a priority because they help organizations stay agile, effective, and competitive in a fast-changing landscape.

222 Fifth is an R&D hub purpose-built for flexibility, tenant engagement, and long-term sustainability. Designed to meet the evolving needs of the life sciences industry, the building’s offset massing and dynamic volumes establish a striking identity. A bold feature stair drives vertical connectivity and movement, while terraces and a rooftop deck provide outdoor spaces with expansive views. Balancing work and research, 222 Fifth cultivates collaboration and continuously adapts to the shifting priorities of tenants and the surrounding community.

Sustainability is at the forefront of 222 Fifth’s design. The building performs 25% better than the 2015 Seattle Energy Code requirements, achieving enhanced energy efficiency through high-performance glazing and 100% electrified building systems including chilled beams and heat recovery HVAC. These sustainable features not only reduce environmental impact but also earned the building additional floor area through the Green Building Standard incentive program, ensuring long-term value for tenants and the surrounding community.
