Columbia City Condos to Break Ground This Summer

Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty has announced the forthcoming Sonata Condominiums project in the Columbia City neighborhood of southern Seattle. Developer BDR Urban LLC plans to break ground on the 96-unit community this summer and complete the project by the end of 2019.

The site is located at 4561 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S., next to the Columbia City Station, within a 15-minute train ride from downtown Seattle.  The Rainier Avenue South retail corridor is also within easy reach, providing various dining, shopping, entertainment and leisure options.

High-end amenities

Sonata Condominiums will provide studio, urban-one-bedroom, one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom apartments, with sizes ranging between 400 and 1,000 square feet. First prices fluctuate from almost $300,000 to more than $800,000, with reservations commencing soon.

Apartments will include oversized windows, hardwood floors, quartz countertops and personalized kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Common-area amenities will feature:

• underground parking
• controlled-access entry
• community bike room and tuning area
• guest suite
• great room with screening area
• fitness studio
• rooftop terrace with outdoor fireplaces and barbecues
• lobby with concierge station and coworking lounge

“Homebuyers will be able to take advantage of a low earnest-money deposit structure, with just 5 percent down payment and total monthly housing costs that are similar to prevailing rents in the area,” says Dean Jones, president & CEO of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, in a prepared statement. “Not to mention the opportunity for income-tax deductions and the prospect for capital appreciation in the rapidly-rising housing market that has become synonymous with Seattle real estate.”
