Boxy!


Holding the corner, all clean and simple, somehow just the right proportions. Located at 12th and Pike on Capitol Hill, formerly a surface parking lot. Designed by Weinstein A|U, developed by Dunn + Hobbes. How nice to see a new mixed-use building without a bulky brick storefront base. And it’s apartments, not condos. Could this be the perfect urban infill project? Well, almost: rents range from $1500 to $2500 for 680 to 990 sf, so it ain’t exactly cheap. But what are ya gonna do? High-quality construction is expensive.  Also, the developer chose to build three double-height residential floors instead of the typical five (e.g. Trace Lofts across the street), and so ended up with fewer rentable units.Â
