Common Questions

Buyer FAQ

Are there any new construction condos in Seattle?+
Yes — Seattle has had several major condo deliveries since 2020. The newest buildings are First Light (2024, 459 units), Spire (2022, 343 units), Graystone (2023, 271 units), Emerald (2021, 262 units), and KODA (2021, 203 units). The pace of new condo construction has been slower than the 2005–2009 boom, making newer buildings a limited and often premium segment of the market.
Why should I buy a newer Seattle condo over an older one?+
Newer buildings (post-2015) offer modern construction standards, current mechanical systems, and essentially no near-term capital replacement needs — meaning HOA reserve funds should be well-positioned and special assessments less likely. They also feature current design standards including open floor plans, larger windows, and better insulation. The trade-off is typically higher HOA fees and less established HOA governance track records.
What is the newest condo building in Seattle?+
First Light (2024) is Seattle's most recently delivered condo building, with 459 residences. Before First Light, the newest major deliveries were Spire (2022, Belltown), Graystone (2023, First Hill), and Emerald (2021, South Lake Union).
Are newer Seattle condos more expensive?+
Generally yes — post-2015 Seattle condos command a per-square-foot premium over comparable 2005–2010 vintage buildings, reflecting modern construction, current systems, and lower deferred-maintenance risk. The premium varies by neighborhood: in Capitol Hill, Carbon 56 and Lumen (2016) trade at modest premiums over 2006–2007 buildings. In South Lake Union and Belltown, Spire and Emerald command significant premiums over the 2007–2009 cohort.
