This South Lake Union High-Rise is Putting Luxury Living on Edge
These brand new apartments in the center of Seattle's social scene will curve your idea of high-rise living.
Sponsored by AMLI Residential
With one foot in South Lake Union and the other in Capitol Hill, this new high-tech high-rise is designed to support an active social life within its walls and right outside its doors. AMLI Arc (Arc), a brand new apartment tower opening in October 2017, is reimagining city living with an elegant but edgy interior and creative community spaces. Described as “deconstructed to perfection”, the residential tower offers multiple floor plans, from open one-bedrooms to two-bedroom penthouses, all exuding the signature industrial-meets-refined vibe. Arc is a curated contrast of design details, with 41 floors featuring sweeping Seattle views and two floors of amenities built to exceed expectations.
Socialize close to home, yet 400+ feet in the air, on Arc’s top floor, which houses a unique “underground” club, appropriately called 41. This expansive space feels part fashion warehouse, part swanky lounge and is available to residents for mixing, mingling, cooking and co-working. Amenities include an exhibition kitchen and group dining space, outdoor terrace, media box, game zone, collaboration space, private party room and the Edge Lounge with city views in every direction. This raw, creative space is as versatile as it is stylish.
Boasting a walking score of 96, the building is just steps from some of the best restaurants, shops and entertainment in Seattle. You’ll find low-key live music and late-night liquor lounges, modern art and historic indie movie houses. With warehouse-y pool halls and Japanese karaoke, moody tattoo parlors and even a Turkish hammam, the neighborhood is bursting with vibrant experiences.
Adding a whole new twist to apartment hunting, Arc has adopted a tech-forward way of showcasing its homes via virtual reality (VR) tours. New to multifamily marketing, the tours feature highly realistic furnishings and materials to create an immersive experience. The tours highlight Arc’s amenity spaces and a two-bedroom apartment with a high-fidelity representation. To achieve this, the VR designers used the model, layering on realistic furnishings, materials and site information, using custom code generated specifically for this experience. Similar to a custom video game, it was created using the popular game engine Unity. Built for the HTC Vive, but also adapted for any VR system through Google 360 video, the tours allow users to look, interact with, and move about this virtual environment as though they are actually there.
Whether you’re remotely searching for a new home, or can’t find the time to visit in person, the VR tours are a great way to get an idea of the sleek, urban lifestyle available at AMLI Arc.

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…
PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills
The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.
My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…

Better Together: This Take on Co-Housing Emphasizes Quality and Community
The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.
Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
