Smith Tower Penthouse Featured in NYT Slideshow

21WHO1 span articleLarge Smith Tower Penthouse Featured in NYT Slideshow

The New York Times has a three page write-up on the “apartment” and family that lives atop the Smith Tower, Making a Home in a Pyramid, 462 Feet Above Seattle, with an awesome slideshow.

After giving the scoop on how Ms. Franklin snagged the 1,750 square foot place, featuring a Chihuly and a killer view, I was surprised to read that the lease on the place is subject to dispute:

In 2006, the Samis Foundation sold the building to Walton Street Capital for $43 million. In recent years, the building has either lost or shed its major tenants, including Walt Disney Internet Group, Microsoft and Providence Health and Services. A proposal to convert the tower to condominiums seems to have stalled. What plans the new owners may have for the penthouse is anyone’s guess.

    Wow, that’s like something out of a fairy tale. Good job NYTimes for scooping the story over any Seattle newspaper.

    That is one awesome slide show indeed! The architecture and the resulting atmosphere is truly unique. I, in particular, got a kick out of how the child swing and one end of the marble countertop are held up by ropes!
