Breathtaking Video of Last Construction Platform Being Removed from Space Needle’s $100M Reno

Back in September of 2017, the $100 million renovation of the Seattle Space Needle began with the installation of a 28,000 pound scaffold system ring designed to circle the famous saucer shaped top of the Needle.

The main highlight of the Seattle skyline’s most famous building is its new 360-degree observation deck featuring a rotating glass floor. In the 1970s, a concrete and metal cage was built to surround the observation deck, but those have been replaced with 48 glass walls and reclining glass benches, according to The Seattle Times.

With the renovation nearing completion, the Space Needle’s YouTube channel shared a breathtaking video of the last of the construction platforms being lowered. The rotating glass floor observation area is not expected to be open to the public until mid-July.
