On this gorgeous day, I had the privilege to meet with Molly Gleason for a hardhat tour of the Four Seasons Hotel & Residences and I must say that the project is moving along quite nicely!  The building topped out in December 07 at the 22nd floor, windows are now being installed and they are even working on the terrace level pool/spa.  The building is set for occupancy this August/September and there are no delays to report.

Being that prices started at $2M, the Residences have not experienced any signs of slowing in the market.  In fact, another offer on one of the larger homes was going to be submitted to the developer, Seattle Hotel Group, after our appointment.  I took some photos and walked through the floorplan of #1801, currently offered at $9,493,000 and #1804 (floorplan below).

The American Planning Association ranked Pike Place Market (Market District) as one of the top 10 great places in America based on design, functionality, sustainability and community involvement. 

They noted Pike Place as having “a history as rich and colorful as the produce it sells,” and furthermore identifying it as “Seattle’s most compact, walkable and diverse neighborhood.” 

“This neighborhood is the other side of Pike Place, the side that most of the millions of visitors to the Market each year don’t realize exists,” association Executive Director Paul Farmer said.
