I think I heard a 445' figure for AVA, and Olive 8 is supposed to be 460'. That puts it a little taller than either of the Bellevue Towers at 450' or just under. Rounding out the top five is 1521 at 440'. That's the top five tallest projects underway locally, and also what will be five of the six tallest residential buildings in the Seattle area not including projects planned but not underway yet. The other being Lincoln Square of course.
i thought they were supposed to be the same height? oh well..
Isn't funny how 1521 is smaller than O8 yet 90% of 1521 condos have been sold and i don't know how many but I'm guessing not a huge percentage of condos have been sold at O8. Maybe the view and location makes a HUGE difference.

Sorry, thats a bad guess Olive 8 has sold quite well also. I believe it was at 85-90% sold until they added the three additional floors. Even at 75-80% that it is with those floors, I am sure they are sitting happy at the moment, given that move-ins are still 1 1/2 years or so away.
No. I don't think so the contruction would be too noise and people would complaint a lot. My guess is that maybe the hotel will be open when they're doing the interior work on the condos

Condo towers usually move people in gradually from the bottom up. But this happens only after the cutting and pounding are complete. Painting, fixtures, etc. will probably still be underway on the upper levels. And of course the punchlist, which is the list of deficient items to be redone.
hmm.. the site still shows many unoccupied units and even floors
The site shows 145 of 165 units (88%) sold for floors 21-36. For the three floors they have added, 6 of 31 have sold. That gives us a total of 151/196, or 77% of currently available units being sold.
As for possible completion dates, close dates for high floor units have been adjusted to April '09 so that is probably as good of an indication as we have at the moment.
Oh Dear, April 09?!?! Thats a mighty long way from now! The outside will be finished by then though so we would have our skyline changed a lot by that time. And years lately have passed by fast for me I.D.K. why so it's not too much of a wait.
