Pick your passion: modern or vintage at Belroy Apartments

The Seattle Rental Group relocation team recently had a chance to tour the beautiful, nearly-completed Belroy Apartments up on Capitol Hill.

Slated for February 2013 move-ins, the Belroy has combined modernity with vintage Capitol Hill style by developing two unique yet complimentary buildings.

The original 1930s-era Belroy Apartments are being fully renovated with its historic Art Deco design aesthetic in mind, while additional surrounding structures are being built to feature more contemporary, urban apartment homes.

Lush landscaping will weave throughout the project, with a network of gardens for residents to enjoy.

The modern apartment homes have giant floor-to-ceiling windows, washers and dryers in the units, bamboo and tile flooring, and energy-saving appliances.  The vintage Belroy apartment homes will have bay windows, large closets, classic detailing and hardwoods.

Combined, the Belroy will offer 113 apartment homes – 51 in the modern building, and 62 in the vintage building.  Square footages range from 350 sq ft studios to 1200 sq ft townhomes (yes! townhomes!).

Some of the ground level homes will even have their own garden patio, while the upper floors in the tallest building (six stories) will have stunning views across Lake Union and the city.  Pets will be allowed in some units, and underground parking is being built.

Another added perk to life at Belroy? Deliciously awesome Spanish food will be right downstairs – Chico Madrid is slated to open its doors in Belroy’s commercial space around springtime.

Belroy’s currently pre-leasing, and we think they’ll fill up fast.

So which style fits your personality – modern or vintage?  Check out their website or Facebook page, or let us know if you’d like to visit them during your rental tour!

New Apartment Buildings for Capitol Hill & SLU!

As the relocation director at Seattle Rental Group, I am very excited with all the new apartments buildings coming on line in the Seattle area! We are currently suffering a low vacancy in the area and have a large number of new hires flooding our area. We have been working hard to find great new homes for our new Seattleites but it has been challenging! Yesterday I had the pleasure to meet with the property manager at Union on Dexter  Avenue and Coppins Well on Madison.

Coppins Well is opening their doors for move ins as early as next week! This building is in a great location, close to bus lines and highways and an easy walk to downtown and Capitol Hill. Being placed on the hill a number of their floors will offer views to new renters. They also offer a rooftop deck with a dog area for everyone’s enjoyment. A great selling point for their units is that they offer all hardwoods, no carpets here! Their prices for studios are in the $1400’s.

Union, also a Holland property, is planning on opening in October. Located on Dexter Ave North and a stone throw from Mercer it also offers a great location! Moments from Amazon, Google, Gates Foundation, highway 99 and I5 I’m sure it will lease up fast! This building will also offer a rooftop deck with a pet area including a pet wash. They will have a boutique gym with plenty of windows and towel service. This building will offer many floor plans and great amenities, they have started pre-leasing now.

These two buildings will be great addition to the Seattle rental community and we look forward to touring the building and seeing many more coming up.

It will also feature high efficiency lighting and elevators, increased thermal insulation and high performance glazing.

The Cameo is planned to have 60 residential units, including several live/work spaces. There will be studios, 1- & 2-bedroom condos and 2,100 square feet of retail space on the ground level. You can read more about the Cameo here.
