About This Building

Seaboard Overview

Seaboard is a 55-unit condominium mid-rise at 1500 4th Avenue in Downtown Seattle, completed in 2001. The 4th Avenue address positions the building in the center of Downtown's commercial and retail core, steps from Westlake Center, Nordstrom's flagship store, and Pike Place Market.

At 1500 4th Avenue, Seaboard residents are at the intersection of Downtown's retail corridor and its residential density. Link Light Rail at Westlake Station is within easy walking distance, providing commuter connections across the Seattle metro and to Sea-Tac Airport. The building's central address makes it one of Downtown's most walkable condo addresses.

As a 2001 completion with over two decades of HOA reserve accumulation, Seaboard offers buyers an established building with a mature financial profile. The early-2000s vintage typically delivers competitive per-square-foot pricing relative to newer Downtown inventory, and units have been updated through multiple ownership cycles.

Due Diligence

Buyer Considerations at Seaboard

Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer at Seaboard. Jeff Reynolds reviews these items as part of every buyer consultation for this building.

Small-Association Financing

At 55 units, Seaboard is at the boundary where some lenders apply additional scrutiny. Verify Fannie Mae eligibility, owner-occupancy ratios, and reserve fund status before committing to financing strategy.

25-Year Reserve Status

Seaboard has been accumulating reserves since 2001—a quarter century. Request the reserve study and percent-funded figure. The fund should be well-established at this stage. If it is underfunded, factor that as a risk.

Downtown 2001 Vintage

2001 construction delivers solid building quality with 25 years of aging—systems are established but not yet at end-of-life for most components. Verify condition of major systems and confirm no deferred maintenance items are outstanding.

Location Verification

A building named Seaboard in downtown Seattle likely has proximity to the waterfront or a historic downtown address. Verify exact location, unit orientation, and what views or neighborhood access the building actually delivers.
