Several companies have officially closed their doors for business at the corner of Bellevue Way and Main Street, including well-known retail establishments such as 7-Eleven, Cupcake Royale, Rudy’s Barbershop, and Araya’s Place. The Spot Off Main also closed in early March. The closing of 7-Eleven certainly marks the end of an era in Bellevue.
Rudy’s will transition to a new location located on Main Street later this summer. Cupcake Royale has also announced that they are looking at another space in downtown Bellevue as well, but no official announcements yet.
The Main Street Gateway project is planned for 369-unit apartment complex, 23,475 square feet of retail space and 625 underground parking stalls. The project is scheduled to be complete in May 2016
Hi Michael, Do you happen to know what developer or architect firm that is handling this construction project? Thank you.
Rebecca,
Vander Hoek Corporation is the developer and Baylis Architects completed the design. The Baylis Architects office is actually just up the street on Main.
A couple renderings can be found here: http://www.baylisarchitects.com/Main-Street-Gateway-MixedUse_wip.html
It will be very interesting to see the changed dynamic of Bellevue Way and Main Street with the three new apartment building currently under way.
Loving the notion that 7-eleven had an era.
Amazing things here. I’m very satisfied to look your article.
Thank you so much and I am taking a look ahead to touch you.
Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
Hello
Rumor has it that Trader Joe’s will be going into the Bellevue Way/Main Street property. Can you confirm this is true? I live just around the corner and that would be the best news to have a TJ so close to all of us condo owners!
