McGuire Apartments

The McGuire Apartments was a notable 25-story residential building in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, which opened in 2001 but faced severe structural issues leading to its closure in 2010 and subsequent demolition in 2011. Originally built as part of a development boom, the building suffered from corrosion and inadequate construction practices, prompting a costly evacuation of residents. The site has since been redeveloped into the Avalon Belltown Towers, a modern 24-story residential complex that opened in 2019, showcasing the city's ongoing evolution in urban living.
