Developers Touchstone proposed the building in 2014 and bought the site, then a Goodyear Tires store and surface parking lot, for $16.6 million.[5] Construction began in June 2015 and is anticipated to be complete in 2017.[6] In 2017, Amazon.com announced that it had signed a lease for the entire 11-story office portion of Tilt 49.[7]

The residential tower topped out in April 2017, and was completed in November.[8]

The name of the office building, Tilt 49, refers to the 49-degree angle at which the Denny Triangle neighborhood is aligned relative to true north, facing instead towards waterfront property on Elliott Bay owned by Arthur A. Denny (for whom the neighborhood is named).[9]
