Why Call This Your New Home?

The Emerald was developed by Create World Real Estate and designed by Hewitt Architects, completed in 2020, and quickly became one of the most sought-after addresses downtown - even earning a nomination for the 2021 NAIOP High-Rise Residential Development of the Year.

Its glass façade reflects the light of the city and Puget Sound, making it a standout on the downtown skyline. Inside, you’ll find 262 residences, ranging from efficient studios to spacious penthouses over 3,000 square feet.

Each home has floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek kitchens with premium appliances, quartz countertops, and open layouts to maximize light and views. The upper floors offer jaw-dropping perspectives of the Sound, Mount Rainier, and the city below. The Emerald delivers everything buyers looking for a home that feels like a retreat in the heart of Seattle could ask for. 

But it’s the total lifestyle that sets this building apart from others in the area. You get hotel-style service and amenities, a full-floor rooftop lounge, pet spa, and Tesla rideshare options.

That’s not to mention the unbeatable location just steps from Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and downtown’s cultural core. Work with our team at Urban Living to schedule a visit, and you’ll see why this tower is one of Seattle’s most coveted places to call home.
