Stadium Lofts has delayed accepting reservations until early next year. Originally, reservations were to begin this month but it appears they are still finalizing interior finishes and pricing. There was also a hold up with permitting approval after the developer altered the original design with additional floors.

Pre-Sale Information (Updated November 2007)

The Stadium Lofts team is still working on finalizing finishes and has elected to begin pre-sales in early 2008. They plan to host a preview event and provide more finite pricing information at that time. The reservations will be converted to a Purchase and Sale contract once a firm construction & completion schedule has been determined, during the 1st quarter of 2008.

Upon notification, buyers will have 5 days to convert the reservation to a Purchase and Sale and the earnest money deposit will increase to 5% of the purchase price. The earnest money deposit will be non-refundable.

The Stadium Lofts building is located at the apex of Occidental Ave S and Railroad Way S, just off 1st Avenue S. In the above photo, Qwest Field is seen in the background and the 1st Ave on-ramp to the viaduct is in the foreground. While the area may not seem hospitable to residential homes, the popular Florentine Condominiums is just a few doors away. In the longer-term, the stadium’s north parking lot will be redeveloped with offices, retail, apartments and condos.
