2200 Westlake in South Lake Union is a dynamic project consisting of three buildings in the South Lake Union neighborhood.  The project includes residential, a hotel and some phenomenal retail.
The three buildings designed by firm Collins Woerman used an abundance of floor-to-ceiling glass, architectural concrete, and brick & steel. The highly used Weber + Thompson designed floor plans and the interior decor.
The buildings have been named Aria, Azur and Arte.
Aria is an 18-story tower including the Pan Pacific Hotel. 33 condominiums are located within this building. Â It is also the building that sits directly above the Whole Foods, Seastar and Tutta Bella.
Azur is a 12-story tower with 102 homes,
Arte is a 15-story tower with 126 units.
Floor plans include town homes, studios, lofts, one bedrooms, one bedroom +dens, two bedrooms & two bedroom plus dens. Homes range in size from 500 sf to 2,000 sf. The project used top materials and appliances. Â Ceilings range from 9-10 ft tall with the exception of town homes where they soar to 18 feet. The condominiums have air conditioning, central heating, and the luxury kitchens and well thought interior decor. Â The units originally ranged in price from $300K to over $2 MM.
With such anticipation 2200 Westlake attracted a number of investors.  Many of whom drove prices down by discounting their units to get the units off their books. The project was originally a joint venture between Vulcan Inc., owned by Paul Allen and Milliken Development Group.  I don’t remember all the details, but Vulcan eventually bought out Milliken; increasing ownership in the Westlake project.
Vulcan has made an unbelievable investment in Seattle real estate. Â South Lake Union is a maturing neighborhood that has greatly benefited by the addition of Vulcan’s residential and office ventures. Enso, Rollin Street (now apartments) and Veer Lofts, have re-thought the living standard in this area of Seattle.
