About This Building

Site 17 Overview

Site 17 is a 175-unit condominium high-rise in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood, completed in 2018. As Eastlake's largest and newest condo building, Site 17 represents the most significant residential development in this compact lakeside neighborhood in recent years.

Eastlake sits between South Lake Union and Capitol Hill, running along the eastern shore of Lake Union. Site 17's upper-floor units offer some of Seattle's most coveted Lake Union views, looking west over the water toward the Fremont and Queen Anne hills. The neighborhood's combination of residential character and proximity to tech employment makes it popular with urban professionals.

The Eastlake location provides a quieter residential alternative to South Lake Union and Belltown while maintaining easy access to Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and the University District by bicycle, bus, or car. The neighborhood's main commercial corridor on Eastlake Ave E has a growing selection of restaurants and retail.

Buyer Analysis

Buyer Considerations: Site 17

Site 17 is a 175-unit Eastlake building built in 2018, positioned between Capitol Hill and South Lake Union at one of Seattle's most strategically located neighborhood convergences. Jeff Reynolds's assessment covers the building's modern advantages, cautions for a relatively young HOA, and the key questions buyers should resolve.

✓ Strength: 2018 Construction — Modern Finishes and Systems

Site 17 delivers 2018 building standards: modern energy efficiency, contemporary finishes, and building systems that will not require major capital investment for another decade-plus.

✓ Strength: Eastlake — Between Capitol Hill and SLU

Eastlake is a neighborhood between two of Seattle's most active employment and lifestyle districts. Buyers who work in SLU or Capitol Hill, or who want access to both, find Eastlake's position uniquely efficient.

✓ Strength: Lake Union Water Access and Views

Eastlake's position along Lake Union creates genuine water views and proximity to the lake's recreational infrastructure—rowing clubs, kayak rentals, and the waterfront trail. Upper-floor units at Site 17 can capture significant lake exposure.

✓ Strength: 175-Unit Scale — Reliable Comparables

Enough transaction volume for consistent comparable sales data. The building has 7 years of resale history that supports well-anchored appraisals.

△ Caution: Eastlake's Limited Street Retail

Eastlake lacks the street-level retail density of Capitol Hill or Belltown. Buyers who prioritize walkable neighborhood amenities should evaluate the immediate streetscape before committing.

△ Caution: HOA Fee Range — Verify Current Fees

At $500–$1,050/month, Site 17's HOA range is in the mid-to-upper tier for Seattle. Confirm the current fee for the specific unit type before modeling total carrying costs.

✉ Reserve Fund Percent-Funded?

At 7 years old, the reserve fund should have meaningful accumulated contributions. What is the current percent-funded level and the reserve study's 10-year projection?

✉ Lake View Verification?

Which specific units and floors deliver genuine Lake Union views? View exposure varies meaningfully by unit orientation and floor—confirm before writing an offer.

Advisory

Who This Building Is Best For

Site 17 is best suited to buyers who want modern construction in a neighborhood that sits at the intersection of Capitol Hill and South Lake Union. These profiles describe who fits the building.

SLU and Capitol Hill Dual-Access Buyers

Site 17 is positioned such that buyers can walk or bike to both South Lake Union's tech campuses and Capitol Hill's amenity corridor. For couples or individuals whose work or social life spans both districts, Eastlake eliminates the trade-off that living in either neighborhood requires.

Lake Union Lifestyle Buyers

Eastlake's waterfront position on Lake Union is a distinct lifestyle differentiator. Buyers who want views of the water and access to the lake's recreational infrastructure—without the cost of a waterfront unit in Eastlake's priciest properties—often find Site 17 competitive.

Modern Construction Buyers Who Want a Non-Dense Neighborhood

Buyers who want 2018 finishes and systems but prefer a quieter, less frenetic neighborhood than Capitol Hill or Belltown consistently find Eastlake's character appealing. Site 17 delivers modern construction in a neighborhood that moves at a notably different pace than its neighbors.

Investment Buyers Targeting Dual-Market Rental Demand

Site 17's position between SLU and Capitol Hill gives it access to two of Seattle's highest-demand rental markets. Buyers operating within the rental policy can draw from both the tech professional tenant pool (SLU) and the broader urban professional renter base (Capitol Hill).
