Pre-Construction Investing
In this article I’d like to take a look at pre-construction investing. In the past few years, pre-construction investing became increasing popular in places like Florida and California where they experienced condo booms. Seattle is on the verge of its own condo boom which has spurred interests from professional investors and individuals alike. Florida especially…
Escala Midtown Preview Event
Due to overwhelming interest in the project, the developers will host a preview event ahead of the sales center’s scheduled opening. The event will be held on July 27th @ 5 PM at 414 Stewart Street, Ste 200. The Escala reception center will include a 2,600 sq foot prototype, preliminary floor plans and introductory pricing.…
1 Hotel & Residences
Update: This project is essentially dead. The Second + Pine project (website) will be instrumental in the rejuvenation of the Market District in Downtown by bridging the area between the Westlake retail district and the Pike Place Market. The development will include a world-class hotel brand called “1” by the Starwood Capital, considerable retail space…
Vulcan Project Sales Process
Vulcan Real Estate released information about the sales process at its Sneak Preview event on Saturday. Due to the significant interest with over 10,000 people registering online, Vulcan will implement a lottery sales approach to provide everyone a fair opportunity. Here’s the process in a nutshell: Interested buyers will register for an Informational Overview session…
A view from 2010
This rendering was created by Realogics and Weber + Thompson for the Downtown Seattle Realtor Symposium and New Condo Showcase and recently published in the Seattle PI. It’s a great visual showing a changed landscape come 2010. It’s noted it’s unlikely that all projects will be built. The Seattle PI has a larger image complete…
Escala Condos – Midtown Seattle
The Escala Condominium is planned for the “Midtown” district near the Westin Hotel. Midtown is snuggled between the downtown core, Belltown and Denny Triangle…a marketing concoction rather than a place name. The 330 foot luxury highrise will include 280 homes and will break ground this year with a planned Summer 2008 occupancy. Planned units will…
Brix Condos
Update: This project has been completed. A new condo project in the heart of Capitol Hill, the Brix condos, will certainly add vitality back to “the Hill”. Brix is planned for the old Safeway site on the north-end of Broadway. If anyone has been to Broadway lately, it has lost its luster with many of…
Epic Condominium
Located just south of Seattle Univerisity (by AM/PM), Epic is a condo conversion featuring studio, one- and two-bedroom units. The studios and one-bedrooms are located in the center while the 2-bedrooms flank each end of the building. Unlike the others profiled previously, the building is only three years old. Home Interior features include: granite slab…
Maison Condos Greenwood
The Maison is located in the Greenwood neighborhood in North Seattle. Like neighboring condos on Greenwood Avenue, one imagines 1970s-80s walk-ups, shag carpeting, linoleum floors, stale interiors and so forth. The developer of Maison did this conversion right. One thing that immediately stands out about Maison is that the main level is elevated above ground…
The Morgan & La Toscane
The Morgan and La Toscane are conversion projects just north of the Broadway business district on Capitol Hill. Both will have their grand opening on June 10th. I toured both of these projects today during their broker’s open. Unlike the Residences on Fifth Avenue, both of these have been completely updated. The Morgan is located…
