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.

It is about time they do something with that building. This is going to be a premium spot.
This project is on government surplus property that King County put out to bid. Unfortunately, the addition in this design will bring an end to this building’s status as contributing to the Pioneer Square Historic District. I wish King County would have considered this implication, and selected one of two alternate bidders, whose development plans would have included historic restoration and new housing–without adding three stories above the existing building. Here’s an interesting Nicole Brodeur column on the Pioneer Square Preservation Board’s decision to allow the project to proceed: “Money trumps history” http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=brodeur19m&date=20070619&query=nicole+brodeur
