Tateuchi Center
Long-planned downtown Bellevue performing arts center envisioned with a roughly 2,000-seat concert hall.
The Tateuchi Center is a long-planned performing arts center intended for downtown Bellevue, envisioned to include a concert hall of roughly 2,000 seats. The project is slated for a donated site near the corner of 106th Avenue NE and NE 10th Street, on land gifted by developer Kemper Freeman in 2002.
The effort has drawn substantial philanthropic support, including a major gift from the Tateuchi Foundation for which the center is named. Fundraising stalled during the late-2000s recession, and the project has faced repeated delays and large funding gaps over more than two decades.
The City of Bellevue has at various points offered financial support toward construction, and consultants have studied revised designs to improve feasibility, but as a still-unbuilt project it represents the city's long-held ambition for a flagship performing arts venue.
