“Ho Ho Ho!” Ashwood II , located on 112th Avenue NE right off of NE 8th Street, wins Downtown Bellevue Network’s Most Festive Construction Site Award.
The developer/construction team has put up wreaths in the shapes of the letters “H” and “O” that light up sporadically across the construction site facing the freeway!
Thanks for the laughs and smile! Hopefully the project continues to be newsworthy (and completes on time).
They must not have gotten the lasted “PC” memo. 🙂
Jake and Crew,
Nice work. It really is unique, colorful and appropriately “neutral”…..thanks for lighting up downtown Bellevue, where you’re adding great beauty!

Thank you for naming our project Downtown Bellevue Network’s Most Festive Construction Site. My colleagues and I are pleased that our effort to share our holiday spirit with the community is showing.
I would like to point out that the correct name of the project is elements too. The confusion is understandable because when we launched the project it was called Ashwood.
Su Development is extremely proud of elements too, a dynamic project that comprises two architecturally unique mixed-use buildings – a 22-story tower and a 13-story mid-rise – totaling 274 apartments, approximately 48,000 square feet of retail and five levels of underground parking.
Following 989 elements, a 23-story residential and retail tower that opened in fall 2006 immediately to the north, elements too completes the second phase of Su Development’s Ashwood project, the anchor of downtown Bellevue’s arts district.
Elements too is not just a place to live but a place to thrive. A three-story, light-filled atrium connects the buildings and will house eclectic shops, the residents’ fitness center and other amenities. A water feature will flow from the atrium to an open-air piazza, where the community will be able to gather for outdoor arts performances in a green space.
Designed by the internationally acclaimed architecture firm Cutler Anderson in conjunction with architect of record CollinsWoerman, the buildings are stepped or staggered to maximize southern and western sun exposure, and many homes will have green terraces where residents can enjoy the sunshine. During the summer, the angled roof provides shade to the top 12 floors of the taller tower.
The high-rise is scheduled to open in the summer of 2008, and the mid-rise building and atrium in the fall of 2008.
Bellevue-based Su Development strives to redefine urban development by building exceptional residences efficiently and responsibly for a wide range of lifestyles and price points. Guided by a dedication to promoting healthy living and connecting people through public spaces devoted to the arts, Su Development has built more than 1,500 multi-family homes, apartment units, townhomes and condominiums, including 989 elements, Palazzo Condominiums and Bristol Farms Apartments, since the company was founded in 1981.
Denise – Thanks for your comments (and all the information)!
We appreciate you reading the site.
no offense but “elements too” both sounds bad and looks bad in print. It almost sounds like a bad translation…
would you name it “elements as well”?
good thing it’s a rental not condo! I think the design looks great, a nice change from the ordinary
I’d agree. Change this name before it’s too late, it is terrible. People will spell “too” wrong all the time as “two”.
It seems it’s supposed to be a play on words, but the only trick will be on your project.
Su Development. Hm.
Hopefully, the materials and design will be better than that of Palazzo.
yeah, the name sounds dumb. with all that money and they came up with such a dumb name. wonder who they paid to come up with that name or was it done in-house. either way, it’s still a dumb name.
