About This Building
The Glass is a 90-unit condominium mid-rise in Downtown Seattle, completed in 2008. The building's name signals its architectural identity: a glass-forward design philosophy that maximizes natural light and urban views, reflecting the architectural language that defined Seattle's peak mid-2000s construction cycle.
Downtown Seattle's central location gives The Glass residents immediate access to the city's densest concentration of retail, dining, and cultural institutions. Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, and Westlake Center are all within walking distance. Link Light Rail at Westlake Station connects residents to Sea-Tac Airport and the broader metro.
At 90 units and a 2008 completion, The Glass is one of Downtown's larger mid-rise buildings from the peak construction cycle. Units completed at this phase of Seattle's development benefit from the design standards and materials quality of the mid-2000s condo boom, with over 15 years of owner-renovation cycles creating diverse finish levels.

Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer at The Glass. Jeff Reynolds reviews these items as part of every buyer consultation for this building.
The Glass was completed in 2008 with a HOA range of $500–$950/mo—on the higher end for downtown Seattle. Verify what this fee covers: amenities, parking, concierge, reserve contributions. Higher fees at a 2008 building may reflect premium operations or elevated reserve contributions for glass-façade maintenance.
Buildings with all-glass or curtain-wall façades require specialized maintenance and eventual window/seal replacement at significant cost. Request the reserve study with specific attention to façade maintenance schedules and reserve fund allocations for glass system replacement.
At 18 years of operation, The Glass’s reserve fund is in mid-accumulation. Verify percent-funded and confirm the reserve study reflects the long-term capital needs of a glass-façade building—these can be more capital-intensive than conventional masonry structures.
90 units provides reasonable HOA economies of scale. Confirm Fannie Mae eligibility, owner-occupancy ratios, and rental cap status. 2008 downtown buildings sometimes have elevated rental concentrations as the investor-buyer pool from the original sales cycle has had 18 years to exit.
Buyer Fit
The Glass attracts specific buyer profiles based on its building format, location, ownership structure, and price point. Here is who Jeff Reynolds most often works with at this building—and why.
The Glass’s design is its primary differentiator in downtown Seattle’s condo market. For buyers who want contemporary visual architecture rather than brick or concrete construction, it stands out in the downtown inventory.
The Glass’s 2008 construction and higher HOA range suggest a building designed for downtown professionals who want quality operations alongside their central location.
