Checking out their site also confirms they are leasing:

I walked through a number of units. The top floor units definitely enjoy a nice view:

Here’s a picture of one of the kitchen’s under construction:

So what’d I think?

The floor plans were decent, the finishes pretty good, the views were great, but I’m really not impressed with the exterior. It doesn’t add anything to the neighborhood. I feel like recent projects such as 1111, Brix, Trace and Agnes Lofts are bringing something new and exciting to Capitol Hill while this just maintains the status quo. However, modern, lofty, and architecturally distinct aren’t for everyone so I’m sure this pacific northwest contemporary style will find some buyers just as their project at Bellevue and Thomas did and like Meritage did as well.

Here’s what the reader had to say:

I was just curious if they’d started listing or selling at all, or if they’d promoted themselves to the RE community around here. I live 5 minutes away on foot and even I forget about them sometimes.

The building is 3-4 stories tall and is painted an ugly shade of green; the same color they use for the “trim” on their web site. From the outside it looks like the only thing they have left to add is the terraces. The unit sizes seem generous and I really wonder if the prices they’ve chosen represent a fair market value for that area.

Details:

• 23 units
• 1 and 2 bedrooms
• 661 to 1121 square feet
• Priced from mid-$300’s to $600’s
• On sale late April (glad to see another condo not messing around with pre-sale bullshit. It’s much nicer to walk through the almost finished thing when you’re signing your purchase and sale.)
