I recently visited the Lumen sales center. Here are some photos and my notes.
Somes notes on Lumen:
- The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation campus is going to be built next door (likely noisey)
- 94 units, 51 sold (three weeks ago)
- Concrete, steel and glass construction
- 24 floor plans
- QFC is the anchor retail tenant with 35,000 square feet (they own the space)
- Internal loading dock for the QFC so the truck doesn’t block the street
- Other retail is 35,000 square feet (the space is rented)
- They will have a Lumen lounge and sky bar
- 2 elevators
- 12 seat screening room
- Patios on the inside units are 14×16
- Wireless internet
- BBQ
- Gas fire pit
- Skylights for some units
- 24 hour conceirge
- Drycleaning pickup
- Lofts are 11.5 to 17 feet
- There’s heating and A/C

Lumen is a risk in this neighborhood, and the location may turn some people off. But I think it’s going to work. Lumen and the new Gates Foundation campus are watershed developments. The Uptown neighborhood, especially the east side of it, will never be the same.

Its going to be noisy on the Southside of the building.

An article in the paper today said the new Sonics owners are interested in building a new arena where the current Memorial Stadium is next to EMP. If that plan comes to fruition, noise and traffic will move over to the east side of the center.

I now know for certain that I don’t like modernist decor. It is a bit cold.
