Building Overview
Avenue Bellevue is the most ambitious residential project ever built in downtown Bellevue — and it delivers on that ambition. The $1 billion development by New York-based Silverstein Properties (the firm behind the World Trade Center redevelopment) opened in two phases: the Avenue Residences tower in 2022, followed by the Avenue Estates tower in 2023.
Sitting atop more than 85,000 square feet of curated retail and restaurant space, Avenue Bellevue is anchored by the InterContinental Seattle Bellevue — a genuine five-star hotel whose services flow directly into the residential towers above. This is not a condo building with a nice lobby. It is an integrated luxury lifestyle environment, and there is nothing quite like it elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
The project spans two towers with meaningfully different characters. Avenue Residences is the more approachable of the two — a 25-story tower with 224 residences, one- and two-bedroom floor plans, and a price point that starts in the high $700,000s. Avenue Estates, rising 26 floors, is the ultra-premium offering: curved balconies, panoramic views of Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline, and penthouse residences that trade at $9 million and above.
Floor Plans and Unit Types
Avenue Residences focuses on one- and two-bedroom floor plans with clean, modern layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and high-quality finishes. Units average in the $1.3M–$2.5M range for two-bedrooms depending on floor and view orientation.
Avenue Estates offers a more curated collection of two- and three-bedroom residences with distinctive curved balconies and corner units that maximize view exposure. The penthouse collection spans the highest floors and includes spectacular full-floor layouts.
Both towers feature open-concept kitchens with European cabinetry, Miele or comparable appliances, wide-plank hardwood floors, and spa-caliber bathrooms.
Amenities
Residents of both towers share access to a private amenity suite that includes a fitness center, yoga and stretching studio, and a beautifully appointed community lounge. The building’s position directly above the InterContinental Hotel gives residents access to hotel-level concierge services — think restaurant reservations, dry cleaning coordination, and in-residence services that most condo buildings simply cannot offer.
Below the residential towers, Avenue Bellevue’s ground-floor retail environment is one of the finest in the Pacific Northwest, with chef-driven restaurants, boutique retail, and the hotel’s bar and dining venues all walkable without ever stepping outside.
Who Avenue Bellevue Is Best For
Avenue Bellevue attracts a specific type of buyer: senior tech executives and professionals who have lived in comparable buildings in San Francisco, New York, or Singapore and expect the same standard in Bellevue. It also draws international buyers, particularly from Asia-Pacific, who are familiar with mixed-use luxury tower living and see Avenue Bellevue as the closest analog to that experience in the Pacific Northwest.
Avenue Residences is better suited to buyers whose priority is a newer, well-amenitized building at a more accessible price point — tech professionals buying their first luxury condo, or couples who want a low-maintenance urban lifestyle without the full-service premium of Avenue Estates.
Avenue Estates is for buyers for whom price is secondary to quality of experience — those who want the finest finishes, the best views, and the most complete service environment available in downtown Bellevue.
Location and Walkability
Avenue Bellevue sits at the intersection of NE 8th Street and 100th Avenue NE, placing it within easy walking distance of Bellevue Square (the Eastside’s premier shopping destination), Bellevue Downtown Park, and the cluster of high-rise office buildings where thousands of tech workers spend their days. Google, Salesforce, and Snowflake offices are within a short walk. Amazon’s growing Eastside presence is minutes away.
Bellevue’s future light rail connection (East Link) will place residents of Avenue Bellevue within easy transit distance of Seattle’s downtown, making the building’s appeal even broader for buyers who split time between both cities.
Frequently Asked Questions — Avenue Bellevue
Q: What is the difference between Avenue Residences and Avenue Estates?
A: Avenue Residences is the more accessible tower, with one- and two-bedroom layouts starting in the high $700,000s. Avenue Estates is the ultra-luxury tower, featuring curved balconies, more expansive floor plans, and penthouse residences that trade at $9 million and above. Both towers share the same retail environment and hotel services below but have distinct lobbies and resident amenity floors.
Q: Do Avenue Bellevue residents have access to the InterContinental Hotel?
A: Yes. Residents have access to InterContinental concierge services, and the hotel’s dining, bar, and event spaces are steps away within the same complex. Specific service access levels may vary by tower and unit type — confirm details with the HOA when purchasing.
Q: Are pets allowed at Avenue Bellevue?
A: Avenue Bellevue is generally pet-friendly with size and breed restrictions typical of luxury high-rise buildings. Verify current pet policies with the HOA at time of purchase, as these can change.
Q: What is the parking situation at Avenue Bellevue?
A: Units include assigned underground parking. Most residences include one or two spaces. The building’s underground garage is fully secured with EV charging available.
