About Marina Heights

Marina Heights is a boutique 7-story steel and concrete condominium in Downtown Kirkland. Built in 1996, the building houses just 21 residences at 134 Central Way, averaging only 3 homes per floor, one of the lowest density footprints in any Kirkland condominium building. The location sits steps from Marina Park, the Lake Washington waterfront, and the full downtown Kirkland village dining, gallery, and shopping core.

The building offers secure parking, abundant storage, an elevator, and the durability benefits of steel and concrete construction. Individual residences feature walls of glass opening to large balconies or terraces, often with views of Lake Washington, the city, and the surrounding mountains. Kitchens are designed for entertaining with ample cabinetry, large islands, and walk-in or butler’s pantries. Floor plans emphasize separation and privacy, with primary suites offering spa-like baths, walk-in closets, and direct outdoor access. Gas fireplaces, built-in cabinetry, and generous proportions complete the interior experience.
