RESIDENCE IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE

Seattle, WA
Downtown Seattle is the place to be. This prestigious condo, located at the corner of Pike Place and Virginia, is one of just a couple of places where your front door enters Pike Place Market. The 8-story concrete and glass building was designed by architect Jim Olson, founding partner of Olson Kundig firm [see https://OlsonKundig.com/partners/pike-And-Virginia and https://olsonkundig.com/people/jim-olson/] and won the AIA
