About This Building
The Fix — also known as the Fix-Madore Building — is a prized 1910 historic loft conversion on Western Ave, perched on the Pike Place Market hillclimb corridor. Originally a commercial warehouse, the 6-story brick building was converted into 32 distinctive residential loft condominiums. The building is steps from the Seaboard Building, and sits directly above the Pike Place Market hillclimb — one of Seattle's most beloved pedestrian passages connecting the Market to the waterfront below.
The Fix preserves the raw character of early Seattle warehouse architecture. Original brick walls, exposed timber beams, tall warehouse windows with views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. Each of the 32 units carries genuine historic character that new construction simply cannot replicate. The combination of authentic loft living, proximity to Pike Place Market, waterfront views, and irreplaceable architectural presence makes The Fix an exceptionally rare Downtown Seattle address.
The Fix is located at 1507 Western Ave in Downtown Seattle's historic Pike Place Market district. The 32-unit building was constructed in 1910 and converted to condominiums.

Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer. Jeff Reynolds covers these in every Downtown building consultation.
The Fix's 1910 brick warehouse construction and timber frame represent exceptional historic character — and require specialized attention. Review the structural engineering reports and recent building inspections. Verify that any modifications to the original brick, timber, or roof systems were permitted and professionally executed. Historic brick buildings require ongoing maintenance investment.
A 116-year-old brick warehouse typically has significant roof replacement and masonry maintenance on the capital planning horizon. Review the most recent reserve study with specific attention to roof and facade preservation line items. Verify reserve fund adequacy for a 10–15 year capital planning horizon and the condition of brick mortar joints.
Historic 1910 warehouse conversions can present appraisal challenges and financing restrictions due to age, non-standard configurations, and relative scarcity of directly comparable sales. Confirm lender experience with Downtown historic loft buildings. FHA and VA financing are frequently ineligible in buildings with high rental concentration or non-standard HOA structures.
The Fix's proximity to Pike Place Market and Western Ave provides exceptional walkability and waterfront corridor access — and occasional urban ambient noise. Visit the building at different times and days, and request access to units to evaluate noise levels from the Market, street activity, and neighboring uses. Upper-floor units typically experience less ambient market noise.
Who Buys Here
Buyers who prioritize walkable urban living in Seattle's most iconic neighborhood find The Fix's location irreplaceable. Direct access to Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and Elliott Bay views from a single residential address represents a singular Downtown living proposition. The Fix appeals to buyers for whom proximity to the Market is not negotiable.
The Fix's original 1910 brick and timber construction offer authentic warehouse character that cannot be manufactured or replicated. Buyers seeking genuine historic loft living — original brick walls, exposed beams, tall industrial windows — find in The Fix one of Seattle's most architecturally compelling residential addresses. The building's irreplaceability is its essential appeal.
The Fix's combination of historic character, Elliott Bay water views, and Direct Pike Place Market access creates a multi-narrative value proposition. Buyers focused on long-term waterfront corridor value understand that The Fix's location at the Market-to-waterfront passage cannot be replicated. Architectural character combined with waterfront proximity drives sustained appreciation.
