| Last Friday, a colleague and I toured Enso- was pretty exciting! I have to say that the prices seem very reasonable for the square footages, finishes and views. One of the things that surprised me was the amazing use of space…all the floorplans seem a lot bigger than what they actually are on paper. We toured a smaller open 1 bedroom at 683 SF, and I could have sworn the space felt more like 800+ SF.The finishes are top notch…Bosch appliances, hardwood/bamboo flooring, concrete/honed granite countertops and beautiful Eggersmann German cabinetry- comes with quite the background story and just proves how much effort Vulcan put forth in finding sustainable and renewable materials.
As for the views- this property is all about the city lights! There are unobstructed views of the Space Needle and Lake Union but you will be dazzled when touring the property in the evening…amazing!
As for amenities…the resident lobby is very welcoming and accessible from the Blanchard side of the building where there will be a concierge sitting during extended business hours. The clubroom has an amazing kitchen, lounge & TV area…complete with a sun deck and industrial-sized BBQ. The fitness room is well equipped and located in a very large and open space overlooking the city skyline.
If you ask me, I think Enso is going to be a great addition to the South Lake Union community!

Multi Capital Group is delaying construction on their two-tower development right across from the Westin known as Pagoda and Heron towers.
The plan was to build 400 condos, a 200-room hotel and 312,000 square feet of commercial space (office and retail) but due the current market/economic conditions and the lack of financing for the project, they have decided to postpone.
For how long? Alex Carlin, the senior project manager says ?We’re still trying to decide when is the best time to move forward,? with the prediction that in 2011/2012 there will be a shortage of condos in the downtown area. Click here to read more! |

What was to be the site of 1 Hotel & Residences will remain a desolate gaping hole on 2nd Ave and Pine until Starwood Capitol Group can secure a construction loan and proceed with a newly designed 23-story hotel-condo building.
Not only has the construction been delayed for nearly a year now, but most recently Avalon Holdings, a Portland-based firm headed by Paul Brenneke, has sold their interest ($45 million) in the $250 million project. Avalon will continue to develop the 18,800 square feet of retail space at street level of the Macy’s parking garage and it was announced that Columbia Sportswear Company is planning to operate two retail stores in the space as early as this fall.

Temporarily, The Clise family has pulled a major development off the market due to the credit crunch and a recent reevaluation of the economy. The square footage for the property would have totaled that of 5 Empire State Buildings costing the family nearly $7 billion dollars! The story received a lot of media attention last week but I thought this rendering was worth passing on. Thanks Pablo! |
