The team worked with Town Hall, Freeway Park Association, and the city to renew tired alley and parking facilities to create a quarter-block open space that invites anyone to feel at home. Included are landscaped walkways and plazas that create pedestrian connections to Freeway Park and First Hill’s restaurants, schools, and medical centers.
The two-tower luxury community has 548 apartment homes and penthouses in six layouts, including 110 units participating in the city’s Multifamily Tax Exemption program — the first high-rise development to take part in the program. The 32-story towers bring twin “lit lantern” silhouettes to the city skyline and are unmistakably defined by their distinct interior visions. Each tower has a curated local art collection to match its distinct style: one sleek and contemporary and the other classically refined.
Ovation’s focus is on how residents live now, with 17,000 square feet of amenities including a rooftop pool and spa. Work-from-home realities are supported by expansive fitness and co-working spaces, and available Ori transformable furniture. Changing transportation needs are met with 44 EV stalls, expandable to 110 stalls, in the eight-floor underground garage.
“While Ovation is perhaps our most stunning community yet, I’m extremely proud of the constructive collaboration with our neighbors, stakeholders and partners throughout this experience. In particular, we worked diligently with the mayor’s staff to make Ovation the first tower in Seattle to participate in the MFTE program. This means a much needed 110 homes will be set aside for middle-income earners.”
