According to a recent permit filing, Chay Concept has filed for a location in Bellevue at the SoMa Towers, located at 288 106th Avenue NE Unit 151.
A representative of Chay Concept was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date and what Chay Concept plans to offer has yet to be confirmed, according to the permit filing, behind Chay Concept is V Concepts INC. Chay Concept has filed for a spirits, beer, and wine rest lounge permit.
Washington Company Search states that V Concepts INC was incorporated on May 2nd, 2024. Van Nguyen, Long Tran, and Duc Vu are listed on the business and permit filing.
For the property itself, Olson Kundig’s website states, “Olson Kundig took part in a design competition for the SoMa Towers development in downtown Bellevue. The 259,000 SF, 20-level development contains space for housing, entertainment, the arts, and outdoor public community space.”
“The project is intended to act as a catalyst for urban development in the neighborhood. Lines between indoors and outdoors are blurred and spaces are designed to morph depending on the weather and use.”
“Wide ramps and stairs, large open portals in the façade, and varied styles of entry into the buildings invite pedestrians to engage with the site and move them towards the community plaza or through to the alley.”
