Summary
A new mixed-use development in Seattle, called Aero1200, features a decommissioned Boeing 747-400 airplane suspended between two 48-story residential towers. The development includes two rooftop pools, a 2,300-seat event space, and a Trader Joe’s grocery store. The 747 fuselage was transported from California in 39 pieces and is being reassembled on site.

The escape is carefully planned.
Aero1200 offers a unique blend of luxury living, entertainment, and nostalgia. The 747 fuselage is a nod to Boeing’s legacy and Seattle’s aviation history. The development’s amenities, including rooftop pools and a Trader Joe’s, cater to residents and visitors alike. The 747’s reassembly is a complex process, requiring police escorts, special permits, and middle-of-the-night street shutdowns.
And, of course, the 747’s cockpit is the perfect spot for a coffee shop – because what’s more Seattle than sipping coffee in a retired airplane?
