All units have 1 storage locker
1 unit has sold in the last 6 months for $415,000; at the time of this post there are 2 pending units listed for $319,000 and $449,000 and 1 active unit listed for $509,950
HOA dues include: garbage, water, sewer, building maintenance, professional property management, earthquake insurance
Amenities: Community terrace with BBQs, tables and Bocce

The pros:

The location is within blocks of restaurants, cafes, services, and the Whole Foods grocery store in South Lake Union
The units have a modern industrial vibe, some with concrete floors, corrugated metal and/or wood planked ceilings, steel staircases, etc.
All units have parking and storage
Washer and dryers in each unit
The HOA is no longer in litigation with their developer

The cons:

Wood frame construction can mean you hear your neighbors more than in concrete and steel construction
Some of the units don’t have solid surface counters or undermount sinks but rather have laminate counters
Currently there is a lot of construction near Veer which can be loud and can cause traffic, however that won’t last forever and will likely add retail and services down the road to the neighborhood
