SEATTLE—June 29, 2016—Representatives for Luma Condominium, currently under construction in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, today announced sales for the 24-story condominium tower are at 68 percent, representing 115 purchases now under contract.
“Sales velocity for the project has been outstanding,” says Julie McAvoy, Designated Broker and Owner of McAvoy Real Estate. “We’ve sold 69 units in the first two quarters of 2016. We still have a nice selection of homes remaining, many of them on upper floors with stellar views.”
But Luma’s appeal goes beyond the fact the tower is sited on one of the highest hills in the Seattle area or architect Weber Thompson’s LEED Silver design, says Lowe Enterprises’ Vice President Suzi Morris. “Luma affords homeowners the advantage of a quiet residential neighborhood paired next-door with the dynamic Pike-Pine Corridor and all the Capitol Hill neighborhood has to offer.”
The project is located three blocks from the new First Hill Streetcar, and is the first condominium high-rise building developed in the First Hill neighborhood since 2002 and among the first in downtown Seattle’s neighborhoods since 2008.
Located at 1321 Seneca Street, Luma includes 168 condominium residences ranging in size from 600 square feet to more than 1,700 square feet. The LEED Silver project features a large, rooftop community amenity that includes a clubroom, a private dining room with adjacent terrace, a library, a wrap-around terrace with lounging space, grilling and dining areas, a fire pit and hot soaking pool. The tower also includes a fitness center and a pet run on the second level. Lease Crutcher Lewis is the general contractor and Weber Thompson is the architect, interior designer and landscape architect.
Prices of the remaining units range from the high $500,000s for one-bedroom homes and from the high $700,000s for two-bedroom homes. The Luma sales center is open seven days a week from 11 am to 5 pm.
Residential marketing and sales company Red Propeller, which is co-listing the project with McAvoy Real Estate, said market demand for condominiums is at an all-time high, while inventory, with only two new construction projects actually available for move in currently or near future, is at an all-time low in the central Seattle area.
