Trace Lofts rolls out updated website
The Trace Lofts has rolled out an updated website. While it’s nicer than the previous version, it’s still lacking quite a bit of information. Visit Trace Lofts.

Yet another in the Queen Anne/Denny area
Last week I wrote that a couple of condo projects are proposed for the block where Greg’s Japanese Auto & Starbucks are on. Just one block to the West, next to Bank of America, yet another project is being proposed. This one will be at the corner of Denny Way & Taylor Ave N, 6-stories…

In the next few years, this area will go through considerable change. This is…
Low-Profile Conversions

These don’t appear to have websites so I’m providing sample listings from the MLS. Queen Anne Waverly Place @ 2012 Waverly Place Small 5-unit building with one-bedrooms starting at…
The Montreux – Belltown
There’s been quite a bit of hype recently about Moda Condominiums, particularly around their 300 square foot studios and $150,000 price tag. It’s most likely newsworthy as it stands apart from endless new luxury condo projects underway. However, small affordable Belltown condos isn’t a new concept. In fact, one project has been quite successful, located…

What I consider “potential” are projects that are proposed and/or are wading through the city’s design review process that are yet to be approved. Additionally, the city uses…
