The newest player in downtown Seattle’s bustling shopping and financial district is the 5th and Madison condominium tower. With a targeted gold star LEED rating, the 24-story eco-friendly building sports a plaza level green roof outside and, inside, energy-efficient Bosch kitchen appliances, wool carpets for easy breathing and water-saving solutions, such as efficient faucets and dual-flush commodes. Only six units will occupy each floor, and the three penthouses and 123 one-bedroom units come with roomy 10 and-a-half-foot ceilings and windows, truly making the homes feel open to the city. (Thanks to flexible tilt-and-turn “Juliet” windows, even units without balconies don’t feel claustrophobic.) Every floor plan also scores unique views of the city, with the lucky Northeast corner units facing the “Frasier view” of Seattle’s urban skyline.
