40 Stories In SLU?

September 17th, 2008 · Comments · By Matt

Seattle Times, South Lake Union’s skyline could rise to 40 stories:

On Tuesday, Seattle started sketching out a new skyline for the neighborhood, one with 40-story condo and 24-story office towers potentially filling the blocks between Denny Way, Aurora Avenue and the lake shore. The city hopes to direct future regional growth to this area, adding 16,000 jobs and 8,000 more housing units by 2024.

    "The new Vulcan buildings seem curiously similar to me"

    Paul's not worried. He knows we'll just bail him out! It's all about socializing risk and privatizing profits.
  • I can't help but think of Moda's "100% sold" number when I see these first-party numbers. First Moda was 100% sold, then 85% sold, then they went all-apartments. The new Vulcan buildings seem curiously similar to me...

    "Actually, Veer is 60% sold according to Ben."/

    Just talked to someone who closed and is moving in. They said 50%

    Have they officially dropped prices at Rollin at all?
  • Went into their sales office last week and according to their sales board Enso has 80 units sold, Rollin has 50 units sold, and Veer has 54 units sold.

    Actually, Veer is 60% sold according to Ben.
  • Chris
    Last I heard, Rollin was at 30% and Enso was 50%.

    They've not updating their website with sold units and the units they had on MLS all disappeared....

    I second SLU as being a failure in the short term, or at least painful to the pocketbooks of ordinary people. The Veer is only 50% sold. Any sales figures on Endo and Rolling Flats?

    mark my words, SLU is going to be the largest failure in the history of Seattle.

    Interesting concept, with unemployment at a 7% high and foreclosures going up, how on god's green earth is this going to happen? i had no idea the major and shitty council had a crystal ball....hell, how can they forecast 16 years into the future when they can't even forecast a year into the future? hahahahaha....

    no serious replys to my post please, it's a wednesday and we all need a beer about now :)
