The Newhouse Replacement Building

A New Era of Government Infrastructure Is Coming to the Capitol Campus

Big changes are underway at 215 Sid Snyder Ave SW as construction begins on the Newhouse Replacement Building—a cutting-edge, four-story office space set to modernize government operations in Olympia. This state-of-the-art facility is poised to bring both functionality and sustainability to the forefront of Washington’s Capitol Campus.

Project Highlights

Here’s what you need to know about this exciting development: 🏢 Size & Scope: The building will span 59,309 square feet and include a partial basement.
🚗 Parking: A new surface parking lot with 217 spaces will be included.
💰 Investment Value: The project is estimated at $52.8 million.
🏗️ Demolition: Four existing structures will be cleared to make room for the new development.

The project has been moving forward since permits were issued on May 1, 2023, and it promises to significantly improve workspace efficiency while adding a sleek, contemporary design to the Capitol area.

Why This Project Matters for Olympia

The Newhouse Replacement Building isn’t just about adding office space—it represents a forward-thinking approach to government modernization and sustainability. By enhancing office functionality and efficiency, this new hub will:

• Streamline government operations

• Offer a modern work environment for public sector employees

• Contribute to Olympia’s urban aesthetic with its contemporary design

However, this development also sparks a broader conversation about Olympia’s growth priorities. Should the focus be on building modern office spaces, or should efforts be directed toward housing and mixed-use developments to meet the city’s growing population needs?
