Four Seasons Glass Panels Fall

Posted on September 16, 2011 by Sarah Hill

After several incidents of falling glass panes, a general contractor for the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences building in downtown Seattle is removing the remaining pieces of glass that line the residence balconies. On Sunday, the piece fell onto a glass awning over the sidewalk. The awning cracked but didn’t break, and no one was harmed. There are 300 glass panels in the building that will be removed. In the meantime, the building’s owners will work on a new railing concept for the residence balconies. For more information, see the full Seattle Times article.

Four Seasons Private Residences Restructures Debt

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Sarah Hill

The Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences located in Downtown Seattle was facing financial troubles after having nearly $34 million in construction liens, defaulting in 2009.  These troubles were much in part due to slow sales when the Seattle real estate market was beginning to fall apart.  The building opened in 2008 with 36 residences, which range in price from $2-$10 million.  According to a Seattle Times article published today, the owners of the building, Seattle Hotel Group LLC, have dug themselves out of this hole with financial restructuring.   Last week, the Seattle Hotel Group received a loan for $26 million towards the debt, owed to Washington Real Estate Holdings.  For now, things are looking up for the ultra luxurious downtown Seattle condominiums.  There are eleven residences still for sale in the building.  Please follow the link to see one of these luxury condominiums full listing details and photos.

View of Space Needle from rooftop

The Marselle is a new development located in South Lake Union.  I’ve had the pleasure of touring a number of units in the building (located at 699 John Street) and they are pretty nice, to say the least.  The units are priced starting at about $220,000 for a studio and the largest unit is a three bedroom.  The units have the same features as most luxury condos in the Seattle area including hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.  The best view from the Marselle is undoubtedly of the Space Needle, which is only a couple blocks away.  Residents enjoy a variety of amenities including an unmatched rooftop deck, a game room, fitness center, yoga studio and private storage. If you’re looking for a new, luxury condo for sale in an excellent Seattle location, check out the Marselle Condominiums.
