Avenue Bellevue, the new luxury condo, hotel and retail development coming to Bellevue in 2022, is elevating the standard of living in the Pacific Northwest, offering unparalleled onsite amenities and bespoke finishes.  

The much-anticipated mixed-use project, which officially broke ground last week, will combine two-towers of luxury condos, the PNW’s first InterContinental Hotel, and an outdoor plaza featuring high-street retail, fine dining and nightlife options.

Expertly designed homes

Avenue Bellevue’s homes, which include 98 “Estate Homes” in the South Tower and 224 “Residences” in the West Tower, have been thoughtfully designed by a team of visionaries from across the globe. All units will feature the highest-quality materials, including gourmet kitchens from Ernestomeda, elegant bathroom fittings from Gessi and Antoniolupi, and customized stylish walk-in closets by Poliform, all at an exceptional value for buyers.

“I have spent two years assembling what I call the ‘dream team’ of partners to execute my vision of artistic architectural design and luxury residences within Avenue Bellevue,” said Andy Lakha, Principal and CEO of Fortress Development. “These design partners represent unparalleled, innovative and thoughtful home features unlike anything seen in other condo developments in the Seattle region. I am excited to bring this to life for the city of Bellevue that I love and call home.”

Vacation-style amenities year round 

Residents of Avenue will enjoy amenities at their doorsteps, including a private fitness room equipped with state-of-the-art cardio and spin equipment, free weights and a yoga room, an exclusive residents’ lounge designed for socializing and soaking in the vibrant energy of the plaza below, a private dog run, and valet service.

“Estate Homes” residents will also enjoy access to InterContinental Hotel services, including room service, housekeeping service, spa and fitness center access, concierge assistance and access to two Rolls-Royce house cars.

Residents of both towers will also enjoy cutting edge technology, including a special app that brings all services and ambiance to them, right through their cell phones.

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?

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

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…
