The Nicest Spot in the City?


What made Van Gogh and Picasso famous? Hundreds of people recognized the beauty in their art. Likewise, I think the votes of many people saying “this is gorgeous” has some kick to it. The results of a poll conducted by the SCR asked readers which condo was the best-looking (I prefer to say “most beautiful”) condo project in Seattle. The absolute winner overall was a pretty girl named Ava (see left).


What makes Ava so beautiful? It’s not just a person’s looks that make them attractive, it’s what’s inside that counts. Same with condos. Ava is a hotel/condo combo, but this luxury doesn’t say it all. Floor to ceiling windows are great always a huge plus, but what makes them especially stunning is their new high-tech clear glass that will let in more light than other projects like Madison Tower or Cristalla, which used darker glass. Seattle has enough clouds to account for high depression rates, lets keep the light coming in, shall we? Another perk is an outdoor bar (think the SkyBar in LA). Many other condos can offer these amenities and features, I hear you say. All right, but the unique thing about Ava is she’s in the right place at the right time. She will be the closest hotel/condo project to the core of retail activity (6th and Pine), making her beautiful and useful, which of course, makes her all the more beautiful.

Construction will begin next year with the building set to open in 2010.

  1. Hi Elise,

    I just wanted to say that I get lost easily. I get lost walking to the bus from work (I can't remember if I'm on fourth or fifth avenue, apparently) and I get easily disoriented. I found that when I started looking for a condo, the first thing that happened was I didn't understand all the numbers I was seeing. Address numbers, dollars per square foot...a lot of these listings were made up more of numbers than anything else. I didn't want to hire someone to help me just find a condo, and after stumbling around a bit, I landed at Condo Compare. I found the layout really helpful and the pictures especially refreshing. I think this is a big compliment when I tell you I didn't get lost on your site. Once I've done a little more research, I think I'm going to use you--and that's all because you didn't let me get lost.

    Oh, and Ava does look really pretty. I went and checked her out on the website. 2010 is a long ways away. *sigh*

    I'll be back. Once I've found my way to my home computer again. :)
