Permits & records
Every figure on this site traces back to a public record. Here is the actual permit ledger — file numbers, dates and status — how the program has shifted across three rounds of city filings, and the hard numbers buried in the project's environmental review.
The ledger
26-106943-LJPendingFiled Apr 1, 2026
A pending application to comprehensively reconfigure the development; per the city description, the primary change relocates the hotel from Tower 1 to Tower 3. Mid-2026 reporting describes the program as still in flux, with the hotel possibly growing from roughly 257 to about 400 rooms and the office component reduced to make room. Not yet approved — the current approved plan still places the hotel in Tower 1.
Record ↗Demolition permitIssued Jan 2026Issued January 2026
Bellevue issued the demolition permit in January 2026; Dickson Demolition was selected to raze the former John Danz Theatre and the former Belle Lanes / Barnes & Noble building.
Record ↗24-104362-BBPendingFiled Feb 29, 2024
The permit for the below-grade structure — parking levels P2 through P5 beneath the three towers and podium. Applied February 29, 2024 and still pending in mid-2026; it is the filing tied to the shoring and excavation work under city and geotechnical review.
Record ↗24-113252-LJApproved 2025Approved 2025
A 2025 update that cut below-grade parking from 2,479 stalls across seven levels to 1,712 across five, roughly doubled indoor bike storage to about 532, and relocated the central energy plant to Tower 1.
Record ↗19-104024-LP · 19-104023-LDApproved 2022Approved Jun 23, 2022
The combined Master Development Plan / SEPA review (19-104024-LP) and Design Review (19-104023-LD) for the three-tower scheme, filed in early 2019 and approved with conditions on June 23, 2022. The environmental review ended in a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS). The block is zoned DNTN-O1 (Downtown Office 1).
Record ↗Reporting on a spring 2026 Bellevue Downtown Association briefing itemized the early-works status: three permits described as issued — a hydrant relocation, the demolition permit, and an early-works clearing-and-grubbing permit — with the shoring permit the lone active filing still in revisions. This is single-source; the city's online ledger still shows the below-grade structure permit as pending. Source ↗

Hotel-room counts have drifted across filings (the 2022 approval shows 257; this site's headline uses an intermediate ~317; mid-2026 reporting suggests up to ~400). The 2026 reconfiguration is pending and its detailed floor split is not yet confirmed by the city record.
By the primary record
A 2017 Phase I assessment flagged a possible abandoned heating-oil underground storage tank: tax-assessor records show the Belle Lanes bowling alley ran an oil-burning furnace, with no record of the tank being decommissioned.
A known release of the dry-cleaning solvent PCE from the former “Thinker Toys” site at NE 8th & 106th has migrated down-gradient into soil and groundwater beneath part of the block.

Hi — I'm a guide to the Onni 606 development and the block it's replacing. Ask me about the towers, the history, the timeline, or what the construction cam shows right now.
