Building Details
116-unit mid-rise in Pioneer Square, Seattle. Built 1991. Over 20 years of HOA history in one of Seattle’s most walkable urban neighborhoods, between downtown and Seattle Center.
Florentine is a 116-unit condominium mid-rise in Pioneer Square, Seattle, completed in 1991. The building represents Pioneer Square’s early-2000s residential development period — smaller in scale than the luxury towers that followed later in the decade, but established in the neighborhood’s core with direct access to Pioneer Square’s amenity base.
With over 20 years of HOA operating history, Florentine has an extensive record of financials, reserve fund activity, and ownership patterns. This depth of history is a meaningful advantage for buyers who want predictability in HOA costs and access to detailed documentation on building financial performance.
The building’s 116-unit scale provides sufficient HOA budget to maintain reserves and capital projects while maintaining a community character that larger towers often lack. Units vary in finish level and condition depending on renovation decisions by successive owners across two decades of ownership cycles.

Jeff Reynolds recommends reviewing the current reserve study and percent-funded ratio as part of any purchase due diligence. Contact Jeff for verified current HOA fee data and reserve fund analysis.
What year was Florentine built and why does it matter? +
Florentine was completed in 1991. Vintage matters for condo buyers because it determines where a building sits in its capital expenditure cycle. Buildings built in 1991 are over 20 years old and approaching or entering major capital expenditure phases for elevators, roofing, mechanical systems, and facade components. A strong reserve fund and current reserve study are essential safeguards for buyers in buildings of this age.
How does Florentine compare to other Pioneer Square buildings? +
Florentine occupies the mid-market tier of Pioneer Square’s condo inventory — priced below luxury towers like Cristalla and 2200 Westlake, but offering the same core Belltown location. Its 1991 vintage means it predates Pioneer Square’s luxury tower cycle; buyers get neighborhood access at lower price points and HOA fees. Jeff Reynolds maintains Pioneer Square building comparison data across all major price tiers and can provide a direct side-by-side analysis on request.
