High value, attractive pricing, numerous amenities and convenient location. Those are just a few of the things that made Bellevue Towers the region’s best selling condominium project in 2011 with 144 homes closed and sold since January 1, 2011.

Bellevue Towers’ homes range from 807 square feet to 6,398 square feet, representing some of the most generous-sized condominiums in the market and offering the best value on a per square foot basis.

With sales of $88,940,000 – double the volume of the closest, comparable project in the market – the cost for Bellevue Towers’ homes averaged $433 per square foot, representing the most attractive condominium value offered to buyers in the market. To date, the luxury, downtown Bellevue project has now sold a total of 263 homes and just this week sold two more $2 million plus homes.

“The price for the size is the best in the neighborhood,” said resident Neelam Chahlia. “It’s new and inviting. The location is the best, so accessible to shopping, transit, and work – my husband works two blocks away.”

In addition to the priceless sense of warmth, comfort and community, residents of Bellevue Towers have access to a 24,000-square-foot urban garden nestled between the two towers, a private screening room, large dining room with terrace and chef’s kitchen, fitness center, spa and sun deck, and a great room that opens to an expansive outdoor terrace with fireplace and barbecue grill.

The project also features more than 300 original pieces from Northwest artists including Lucinda Parker, Julie Speidel and George Batho. Standard finishes in all Bellevue Towers homes include Viking or Wolf cook tops and ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, Bosch dishwashers, full-height granite kitchen-counter backsplashes and master bathrooms finished in marble or travertine.

Bellevue Towers’ remaining homes include studio and one-bedroom residences priced from the $300,000s, two-bedroom homes priced from the $600,000s, and spacious penthouses priced from $2 million.
