Seattle House, the largest apartment development in the city, begins welcoming its first residents this month. The half-block development at 2300 Sixth Avenue in Denny Triangle features two 45-story towers joined by a 13-story podium and adds 1,131 apartments to the area. It’s been one of the most anticipated projects in the Seattle.
Early interest looks promising. The leasing team gave over 200 tours over four weekends and signed more than 50 leases.
The building is built around a simple trade-off: less square footage in exchange for more services and amenities. Seattle House has studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, but they run smaller compared to the national average. In return, residents get more than 50,000 square feet of luxury amenities, including an outdoor infinity pool, a 3,300-square-foot gym, a steam room, a sauna, and a tepidarium. There’s also a dog washing lounge and a 5,500-square-foot coworking space with meeting rooms and a coffee bar. Seattle House’s general manager says hospitality and multifamily have been blending together for years, and the building’s offerings reflect that. The community is aimed at affluent single- and two-person households.
Developers report that it’s been a long road to opening day. Teams broke ground on the $371 million project in 2019, then faced delays from the pandemic, a dispute over permits, and concrete truck driver strike that paused construction for over a year.
Rents start at $2,200 for a studio, $2,600 for a one-bedroom, and $4,100 for a two-bedroom. At the top end, a 380-square-foot studio with views of Lake Union and the Cascades goes for $3,200, while a nearly 1,000-square-foot top-floor two-bedroom overlooking the waterfront and the Olympic Mountains runs $7,200.
