SeaLevel Properties Launches Vale Apartments, New Five Story Multifamily Building in Issaquah, Wash.

110-Unit, 108,000 Sq. Ft.  Downtown Issaquah Apartment Building Already 60 Percent Pre-Leased 

Issaquah, WA (May 28, 2019) — SeaLevel Properties (www.sealevelproperties.com) a local multifamily developer, today announced the launch of the Vale Apartments (www.liveatvale.com), a new five-story boutique multifamily residential building in Issaquah, Wash.  

Located at 995 7^th Ave NW in the heart of downtown Issaquah, the new 108,000 sq. ft., 110-unit residential apartment building features a mix of open one-bedroom, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, along with ground-floor loft units. Pre-leasing began earlier this year and since the building’s soft opening in May, the Vale has leased more than 60 percent of its available units. 

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the completion of our newest project in the vibrant and welcoming community of Issaquah,” said SeaLevel Properties Director John Shaw.  “Our vision at Vale was to create a quality, boutique building that would enhance the city’s vision for future generations—and we couldn’t be more pleased with the result.” 

“I was born and raised in this city—along with my partner Kyle, who serves as SeaLevel’s Director of Multifamily Development—and I still live here in Issaquah with my family,” continued Shaw. “We’re beyond excited to provide a livable new project within our hometown that we can share both with the current and future residents, as well as show off to our kids.” 

Numerous High-End Amenities

The Vale Apartments offer numerous high-end amenities to residents—from stainless-steel kitchen appliances including refrigerators with ice makers and large under-mount sinks with retractable faucets to quartz bathroom and kitchen countertops, with full contemporary backsplashes, and in-home washers and dryers. 

All units also include convenient keyless entry, pendant lighting and modern fixtures, and carpeted bedrooms; additionally, private balconies, walk-in closets, air conditioning and eat-in kitchen breakfast bars are also available in select units within the building. 

Community amenities at Vale also abound—including two rooftop decks featuring an outdoor barbeque, community pea patch and outdoor fire place; an expansive indoor lounge featuring a full gourmet kitchen; an elegant lobby with fireplace; a large bike room with work station and a secure fitness center. Covered parking is also available to residents. 

Vale Apartments features numerous eco-friendly elements and is designed to utilize 60 percent less energy than traditional apartment buildings. Tables and shelving in the building’s common areas were harvested from trees on the site, and grafts of 100-year old apple trees were expertly-saved to preserve their bloodlines. 

Conveniently located within walking distance of numerous restaurants, retail shopping and Safeway grocery store, the Vale Apartments also affords commuters easy access to neighboring communities given its proximity to the intersection of Interstate 90 and State Route 900. 

The building is also located on the Juniper Trail, a multi-use east-west trail connection from State Route 900 to Olde Town Issaquah, which is just a five-minute bike ride (or twelve-minute walk) to the Issaquah Park and Ride. Situated in the foothills of three mountains and at the base of Lake Sammamish, there are also numerous outdoor activities nearby.
