Located in the heart of SLU, within walking distance to Seattle’s top employer headquarters. This 8-story, 113-unit apartment offers cosmopolitan living with unbeatable conveniences. Planned as a warm, cozy urban retreat, complemented by lush landscaping, an intimate courtyard, and a stunning rooftop deck with sweeping city views. Sustainably designed green roof with water retention vegetation and photovoltaics.

Our firm had the pleasure of collaborating with MZA Architecture on two landmark projects—the Shoresmith, an eight-story multifamily apartment building in Seattle, and ELEV8, a large master-planned mixed-use high-rise community in Bellevue. Their team consistently delivered professional services from concept through construction administration, on schedule and on budget. We’re proud to have them as our trusted partner and look forward to future successes together.
