Seattle's Premier Urban Residential Building Unveiled At Ascent

SEATTLE, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascent South Lake Union, Seattle's premier urban residential building by national multifamily developer Greystar, has completed construction and begun welcoming its first residents to the 25-story building located in the vibrant neighborhood of South Lake Union. Comprised of 251 contemporary high-rise apartment homes inspired by the merging of modernity and nature, Ascent South Lake Union provides an all-inclusive living experience accented by signature interior design, unrivaled amenities, seamless resident services and 360-degree breathtaking views – all in one of Seattle's most sought-after locations.

"As we continue to experience strong demand in the high-end rental market in Seattle, particularly in the budding neighborhood of South Lake Union, we are thrilled to officially open the doors at Ascent South Lake Union and welcome our first residents to this distinguished building," said Aaron Keeler, Director of Development at Greystar. "We developed Ascent in response to the overwhelming market demand for condo-quality living in a high-rise apartment setting. With service and convenience as our key pillars, we have already received a strong response from prospective residents and anticipate a greater influx on the heels of opening our doors."

Designed by award-winning local architecture firm Weber Thompson, Ascent South Lake Union boasts one-, two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses ranging in size from 669 square feet to 1,831 square feet, with prices ranging from $2,600 to $9,355 per month. All homes feature spacious California Closets, Nest Thermostats, Blomberg stainless steel appliances, custom kitchens, gas ranges and marble inspired stone countertops. Penthouses feature hard wood floors, waterfall marble kitchen islands, Monogram 28-bottle wine reserve, charcoal filtered water with instant hot and cold settings, Brizo kitchen and bath fixtures, oversized windows, walk-in California Closets and smart home technology beyond Nest Thermostats including automatic window shades and light switches controlled by Amazon Alexa and secret TV screens embedded into the bathroom mirrors.

Ascent South Lake Union features common areas styled by award-winning Seattle-based interior design firm Susan Marinello Interiors, whose notable work in Washington includes The Private Residences at The Four Seasons Seattle, Hotel Theodore and Woodmark Hotel. The communal spaces were conceived to act as an extension of nearby Lake Union through the use of wood, stone and natural elements that are authentic to Seattle. Nautical elements throughout the building, including custom imagery of seaplanes, polished chrome light fixtures, navy color accents and camel leather, marry the lake lifestyle in a contemporary and hospitality-inspired fashion. A modern reflection of Lake Union's mirroring lake, the exterior of the high-rise was intentionally designed to resemble rain cascading down the building.

Ascent South Lake Union offers residents a robust amenity collection highlighted by The Observatory, expansive rooftop lounge and open-air deck surrounded by captivating 360-views of the downtown skyline, Lake Union and the Space Needle. Designed to allow all-season outdoor-indoor living, The Observatory features multiple indoor and outdoor social lounge areas with firepits, BBQ grills, overhead heaters, indoor entertainment kitchen complete with a Franke Espresso Cappuccino Machine espresso machine, a game room with life-size Scrabble board and a rooftop spa. Additional resident amenities include a movement studio with virtual fitness classes, Luxer One package lockers, a 2,600-square-foot state-of-the-art fitness center with fitness courtyard and towel service, dedicated co-working space and a conference room, and 24-hour concierge service catering to resident's every whim whether it's dry cleaning or restaurant recommendations. The pet-friendly community also offers an industrial pet wash station and rooftop dog run. Parking is also provided onsite with electric car charging stations and indoor bicycle storage.

As the base of the tower, a total of six different retailers will be among the new offerings coming to the building.
