About This Building
Elektra Press Condos is a 24-unit historic condominium building in Belltown, originally constructed in 1908 and later converted to residential condominiums. The building's name references its origins as a commercial printing press facility -- one of the many early-20th century industrial and commercial buildings that once defined Belltown before the neighborhood's residential transformation.
Historic commercial-to-residential conversions of this type are among the most architecturally distinctive properties in Seattle's condo market. The 1908 construction delivers brick masonry, large windows, and structural proportions characteristic of early Seattle commercial architecture that no new construction can replicate.
At 24 units, Elektra Press Condos creates a boutique ownership community within Belltown's residential landscape. The building's historic character appeals to buyers who specifically seek architectural authenticity and the urban character of early-20th century Seattle construction.
Jeff Reynolds tracks historic condo conversions within the Seattle Condo Authority Network. Address, stories count, HOA fees, price range, and rental cap should be verified given the building's unique historic profile; contact Jeff for current listings and historic condo buyer strategy.
Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer at Elektra Press Condos. Jeff Reynolds reviews these items as part of every buyer consultation for this building.
Elektra Press Condos was originally constructed in 1908—a former press building—converted to residential use. At 115+ years of age with 24 units, this building requires specialized due diligence. Historic masonry construction, converted building systems, and preservation considerations all affect ownership. Conventional financing is extremely unlikely.
HOA fees for Elektra Press Condos should be verified directly with the current HOA—standard estimates don’t apply to historic converted buildings. Request the full operating budget, reserve study, and any assessment history. At 24 units, per-unit reserve requirements are high.
Renovation, modification, or alteration of units and common areas in a building with historic character may require permits and approvals beyond standard condominium requirements. Verify the regulatory status of Elektra Press Condos and confirm what modifications have been made to your target unit and under what permits.
Former press buildings offer distinctive architectural character—exposed brick, heavy timber or concrete construction, large windows, and high ceilings—that purpose-built residential construction rarely replicates. Verify current unit condition and confirm which original character elements have been preserved.
Buyer Fit
Elektra Press Condos attracts specific buyer profiles based on its building format, location, HOA structure, and price point. Here is who Jeff Reynolds most often works with at this building—and why.
