Bravern - Bellevue

Tremendous response to the The Bravern’s two office towers and retail space has ignited much interest in the residential side of the endeavor. Occupying a super-block (2 city blocks x 2 c.b.’s) with Meydenbauer Convention Center, the gigantic project has garnered media attention from big-time players such as The New York Times.  Microsoft plans to lease space in parts of each tower for 4,000 workers. Neiman Marcus‘ flagship northwest venture will occupy 125,000 sq ft of retail space over 3 floors.

The condominium portion will be known as The Bravern Signature Residences. In the two 29-story towers, nearly 500 residences will sit atop 300,000 sq ft of retail space. Homeowners have the luxury of their phase being completed last. They’ll be able to exit from their tower the day they move-in and enter directly into the fully-operational restaurants and high-end shops.

Homes at The Bravern Signature Residences are divided into three categories: The City Homes, The Condominium Estates and The Penthouses. City Homes range from 625 sq ft to more than 1,200. Prices begin in the $400,000-range and run to nearly $2 million. Estates are spacious 1-3 bedroom condos, from 1,000-2,100 sq ft. Priced from $900,000 to over $4 million, one would expect many Eastside couples interested in downsizing to purchase. Finally, The Penthouses offer 1- or 2-story options in roomy opulence of 3000-5000 sq ft (or more). Prices have yet to be released, but sources estimate certain residences in The Penthouses will find themselves in excess of $10 million.

The pace of reservations has been brisk. Priority registrants ($10,000 refundable deposit req’d) have secured their names to as many as 350 homes. Residences won’t specifically be available for sale until winter. Check back for more details…
