South Lake Union Condo Report

Part of Seattle's condo revolution includes the transformation of the South Lake Union and Gateway districts just north of downtown.  South Lake Union owes its revitalization from a sleepy light commercial district into a bio-medical and residential hub to the vision of Microsoft's co-founder, Paul Allen.  Allen, through his Vulcan Real Estate arm, envisions transforming the area by emulating Portland's population Pearl District

Allen initially began acquiring land in the South Lake Union area in the 1990's in support of the community-based Seattle Commons Park initiative.  Voters, though, said no to creating a major in-city park.  The rest is history.

So what's underway in the South Lake Union & Gateway districts?

Carbon56 - A low-rise conversion in the shadow of Vulcan's popular 2200 complex.  Featuring 56 units, Carbon56 provides the most affordable option for homeownership in the area.  Read more about Carbon56.  

2200 Westlake -  The first of Vulcan's ambitious plans, 2200 Westlake spans an entire city block with three residential towers, a Pan Pacific Hotel, Whole Food Market and numerous businesses.  It instantly created a built-in community in this mostly commercial area.  

Veer Lofts - The first of Vulcan's condo projects in the heart of the South Lake Union area that features 99 flats and lofts.  Read more about Veer Lofts.

Rolling Street Flats - Located just north of the 2200 Westlake project, Rollin Street's 11 floors includes 208 loft style homes.  Read more about Rollin Street.

Enso - Enso is perhaps Vulcan's most stylish project, part of the 2201 Westlake complex that includes an 11-story office building and a 19-story residential tower containing 135 units.  Read more about Enso.
