Pike Place is your corner store. Residence 501 at The Emerald, downtown Seattle's 40-story landmark at 2nd & Stewart, puts the city's greatest hits within a few blocks: the Market and the original Starbucks two blocks west, the Moore Theatre one block north, the new Overlook Walk and revitalized waterfront, Seattle Aquarium, and the Great Wheel just down the hill. Westlake Center and the Monorail are two blocks east, and Westlake Station's light rail carries you to Capitol Hill, the stadiums, or Sea-Tac without touching a car. Seattle Art Museum and Benaroya Hall are a five-minute stroll; the Space Needle, Climate Pledge Arena, and Pioneer Square an easy walk or a short ride. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass draws the city's brick and terra cotta into a light-filled open plan: wide-plank hardwoods, custom wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop and stainless appliances set against a veined slab backsplash. The bedroom frames its own slice of skyline; a spa bath, full-size in-unit laundry, and a dedicated work nook finish it out. Then take the elevator up: a glass-wrapped sky lounge with panoramic Elliott Bay views, rooftop terraces with fire pit, outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining, plus fitness center, yoga studio, dog run and pet spa, and 24-hour concierge. Built in 2020, The Emerald offers the rare combination of new construction, a true walk-everywhere address, and a lock-and-leave lifestyle in the heart of the city.
