Boeing to withdraw permits for planned Everett office building

Boeing is planning to withdraw a permit application to build a 650,000-square-foot office building in a forested area a half mile northwest of its current Everett headquarters building, city officials say.

“The most recent word is they’re going to withdraw the application; we haven’t seen anything formal as of yet,” said Gerry Ervine, Everett land use manager. “We were going through the environmental review process.”

Dubbed the North Office Tower, the building would have replaced several smaller buildings immediately north of the large Everett aircraft assembly building, Ervine said, based on what Boeing officials told him. The flat-topped structures date from when the plant was originally opened in the late ‘60s, said Ervine.
