What’s New In Seattle?
June 20, 2008
In reviewing the condo pipeline both in Seattle and Bellevue, it looks like inventory should start drying up as we lead into 2009 and especially 2010. In previous years, condo buyers have had many different options in new construction - times are changing. With gas prices nearing $5 per gallon & buses often times standing room only, the urban growth demand in Seattle has quickly begun increasing. Also, with companies like Amazon and Microsoft taking more office space in Seattle, we can be certain that condo prices are on the rise. It is amazing to think that just a year ago, there was a large concern about inventory over-saturation. Keep your eyes out for a few newer projects releasing information as we enter into fall.

Parc
June 10, 2008
Recently the Parc was featured in the Seattle Times - Downtown Living Section.
To celebrate the completion of The Parc, the sales and development teams recently held an open house to showcase the new residential towers. More than 100 potential homebuyers came to The Parc to view the four new model homes, tour the building and the roof deck, and to visit the new sales center located on the street level.
The event and subsequent days resulted in 10 new home sales in just two weeks proving that the housing market is still going strong, says Hayes Olson, sales representative for The Parc. People stop in to look and are astonished that they can still buy a top-quality home in downtowns most preferred neighborhood at an affordable price point, Olson says.
Located in the highly sought-after Belltown neighborhood, The Parc occupies some of the most coveted real estate in downtown Seattle. Its prime location just a short walk from the waterfront, the new Olympic Sculpture Park and Belltowns vibrant restaurant and nightlife scene means that many of the homes at The Parc offer stellar views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains, Mount Rainier, the Space Needle and the expansive city skyline. Even residents with territorial views can enjoy the panoramic, 360-degree vistas from the shared rooftop deck.
For those who want to wake up to a view every day, a number of luxurious two-bedroom and penthouse homes are available. Another feature unique to The Parc is the Terrace Homes. These spacious residences offer some of the largest private terraces in the city, with water and Space Needle views.
There are still units available in excellent price ranges.
