Axis9
Axis9 is shaped by a simple idea: workspaces should evolve alongside the people who use them.
Located at the intersection of Seattle’s Central Business District and South Lake Union, the building offers a contemporary workplace that supports productivity, collaboration, and the shifting patterns of modern work.
A Class A office environment, Axis9 brings together purpose‑driven spaces and everyday comfort. An exclusive tenant amenity level encourages connection and informal gathering, complemented by an open‑air rooftop terrace and a modernized 10,000‑square‑foot fitness center dedicated to movement, wellness, and recovery. A welcoming lobby with 24/7 on‑site security, secure bike storage, and above‑market parking availability further contribute to an experience defined by ease, reliability, and care.
Throughout the building, column‑free floor plates and a center‑core layout provide flexibility as teams grow and change, supported by upgraded systems and sustainable features focused on long‑term efficiency. With options ranging from move‑in‑ready spec suites to fully customized floor designs, Axis9 allows organizations to shape a workplace that responds thoughtfully to their evolving needs.

Hear from leading developers and investors on how underwriting, investor sentiment and pricing are evolving across Seattle and the Eastside and where momentum is emerging despite ongoing headwinds.
Examine where tenant demand is re-emerging, which types of space are outperforming, and how leasing strategies are adapting to a more selective occupier base.
Gain insight into why Bellevue and the Eastside continue to attract office demand, and how development, capital flows, and tenant preferences are shaping this submarket differently than Seattle.
Learn how tenants are redefining workplace needs in a post-hybrid environment and what that means for office design, amenities, utilization, and long-term asset performance.
