Seattle lawyer, Craig Blackmon, blogs over at Rain City Guide about the difference between buying a regular condo and buying a condo above a hotel project like Olive 8, I just bought a new high-end condo! Nothin’ but air!
…large condo towers these days (such as Washingto Square Towers in Bellevue, Olive 8, and several others) are built “on” air, detached from the earth. If you bought one of those condos, you don’t own any dirt at all — only the building and airspace above the ground. Say WHAT?

1 Seattle Condos // Jun 12, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific northwest with agressive development plans for new Seattle condos. It is a port city with a rich history and thriving businesses. Seattle has been ranked as the most literate city in the United States, and the most educated. About half of all Seattle residents over the age of twenty five have a college degree, and a whopping ninety-three percent have at least a high school diploma. This highly educated workforce makes Seattle home to many businesses and industries. Of course Seattle is probably most famous as the birthplace of many coffee related businesses, being the home of Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and Tully's. The city has been undergoing massive redevelopment and Seattle condos and residential building have been leading that charge.
Seattle has grown mainly by annexing smaller cities and towns that surround it, leading to it being nicknamed a 'city of neighborhoods'. Each of these neighborhoods has its own atmosphere and will appeal to people with different lifestyles. No matter what your lifestyle there is probably a Seattle condo in the right neighborhood for you.

Seattle condos are becoming more and more prevalent within recent times, and the people residing downtown are changing significantly. The people that are opting for these Seattle condos are challenging developers to overcome rapidly rising construction expenses that are making units increasingly unaffordable. Half of downtown Seattle condo buyers are couples, a third are single men and the remaining 17% are single women, condo marketer Leslie Williams told a forum on downtown living presented this morning by the Downtown Seattle Association.
