Avenue Residences Hardhat Tour
The day we visited they had poured 19 of the 25 floors for the Residences. We toured the 15th floor.
Avenue Residences: 15th Floor North View
For the north view, note the crane, that’s for Mari Bellevue, a 17-story condo that is under construction. Though the speculation is that Avenue floors are taller and has a taller base, so you’ll likely clear Mari from a floor lower than the 17th floor at the Residences.
Avenue Residences: 15th Floor North-West View
The north-west view was pretty nice! Love seeing all the (very expensive) single-family homes on the gentle Bellevue hillside. Though of course crazy that Bellevue’s zoning transitions from single-family to highrise without much zoning in between.
Avenue Residences: 15th Floor West View
Great west views. However, the views are over the QFC which is a site owned by a developer that will be slowly developed so the views will be blocked to some degree as time goes on.
Avenue Residences: 15th Floor South-East View
To the south-east you’ll have a view of Avenue Estates which will be 26 stories. In the future, you’ll also have views of Kemper’s four-tower project at 401 Bellevue Way NE.

Avenue Estates: 16th Floor South-West View
Great views of the water past the Bellevue Mall.
Avenue Estates: 16th Floor South-East View
To the south-east you get a “city” view. Or what some call a “Manhattan” view. Likely very nice and night when all the buildings are lit up. In the future, you’ll also have views of Kemper’s four-tower project at 401 Bellevue Way NE.
Avenue Estates: 16th Floor North-West View
The Avenue Residences building figures prominently in the north-west view. It will be a 25 story building.
Avenue Estates: 16th Floor – West View
Great west views. However, the views are over the QFC which is a site owned by a developer that will be slowly developed so the views will be blocked to some degree as time goes on.
