Lego Seattle - 1930
We were coincidentally enjoying a $1 cheeseburger at South Lake Union Park’s grand opening, and was pretty impressed with all the awesome use of space. There’s a ton of history on display there, and soon to be even more as the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) makes the South Lake Union Armory their new home come 2012. What is most incredible about it is that it seems like it was only yesterday the whole space was just concrete. Even more incredible about the visit was to turn 180 degrees and see an entire neighborhood of high-rises that wasn’t there 5-years ago. Either 5-years is a long time and time simply flies by, or South Lake Union/Denny Triangle is blowing up in popularity. This picture shows each building (less the one’s which cannot be seen such as Weber Thompson’s nationally recognized architecture firm for LEED design) which has successfully solidified it’s presence within the last few years. It’s an entirely new skyline and personally excited to see my town become so simply an awesome, positive and beautiful place to be.
Cosmo, 2 of 13 Amazon, Olive 8, 818 Stewart, some people, benches, grass + other buildings all brand spanking new.
Currently, there’s only TWO (a.k.a. 2) residential addresses where you can you buy real estate within the official borders of the South Lake Union neighborhood. Marselle has proven to do very well with it’s more than fair pricing on new construction, and Veer has done ‘ok’ considering that the location was still somewhat of an unknown when it opened for occupancy just a couple of years ago. You can take a look at snatching up one of these opportunities by viewing what’s on the market and arranging a time to tour these units for sale on our Marselle and/or Veer pages. You can also request a custom, we put the time into making it (not automating) for you for free, market survey here.
Here’s a photo gallery of pics taken after biking down later that sunny day. BUY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD!
On one more important to note about the South Lake Union, the entire area is to be developed of LEED new construction only! Bold. Positive. A leading example of a positive future for Seattle.
