A Two-Tower Residential and Retail Destination Built in the Heart of First Hill

Ovation Apartment Towers at Spring Street serves as a community hub for concert-goers, public market shoppers, and residents alike. The project totals 798,123-square-feet across two 32-story residential towers with 565 residential units, along with 8,400-square-feet of retail, office, and restaurant space, and eight levels of underground parking for 387 vehicles. Both towers were built simultaneously, requiring a high level of planning and coordination. In May 2021, construction was topped out with the ceremonious placing of the final steel beam.
