There are also several penthouses with large decks.  The building is located close to resturants and amenities.  The view from the rooftop deck of Puget Sound and the mountains is awesome.

The Escala (Spanish word for “scale”) is an elegant mixed use condominium development that will be among Seattle’s most exclusive addresses.  The design team is led by renowned residential architect Thoryk Architecture of San Diego. It will have 275 condominiums and a 25,000 sq foot private city club, to be named Club Cielo.  Escala is currently the largest condominium development, estimated at $350 million. A close distance to  Pike Place Market, theaters, nightclubs and other cultural amenities.

5th and Madison is unique in that all of the units, except the three penthouses, are one-bedroom or one-bedroom + den layouts, ranging in size from 808 to 1,244 square feet. The two- and three-bedroom penthouses range from 1,957 to 2,164 square feet in size.

With the exception of the 2nd and penthouse levels (24th floor), each floor accommodates only 6 units, all facing North, West or East. Units on the upper-levels, particularly the “00″ and “01″ stacks on the West side offer spectacular city and Elliott Bay views and have abundant light. Residents will need to be higher than the 12th level to over look the library on the North side.

Amenities include a restaurant on the lower level, resident fitness center, activities/club room, guest suite, dog run and landscaped walking paths with a water channel. Homeowner dues run $.55/sq ft, on par with other higher-end projects and it does include central air and heat, hot water and gas for cooking. 5th and Madison is striving for LEED-Gold certification.

Interior features include upscale finishes, Bosch & Amana appliances (Sub Zero standard for homes on the 20th level and above), Lutron shades, 10.5′ ceiling height and kitchen islands as standard.

The project will appeal to true urbanites who have a penchant for in-city living as the location of the project is in the middle of the Central Business District with only a few other residential buildings in the area. Living at 5th and Madison will provide a different experience with fewer residential amenities compared to Belltown or the Market district, so buyers should keep this in mind. Though M-Street Market, Uwajimaya and Pioneer Square are only blocks away.

Olive8 follows the lead of The 2200 and Madison Tower by incorporating a hotel and many upscale amenities. The Grand Hyatt will reside on the lower 17 levels with residences from the 18th thru the 36th level.

The project includes more than 180 one-, two-, two + den and penthouse residences. The homes come with upscale interiors including Pedini italian cabinets, stone countertops, hardwood floors, stainless Leibherr and Bosch appliances, A/C, 10′+ ceilings and private balconies.

Residents will have access to the Hyatt’s amenities, including a full-service spa, fitness center with a 65 foot lap pool, housekeeping, 24-hour room service and concierge services.

The 38 story building will feature 143 luxury residences ranging between 1,660 to 2,860 square feet. It will be the first tower to be completed under the city’s new zoning regulations.
Building amenities will include a concierge, landscaped roof deck with a rooftop club room for entertaining, spa-like fitness center, a pilates & yoga studio and a business center.

Situated on 2nd Avenue between Pine & Pike Streets, the building will be flanked by the 2nd + Pine condominium project and the Four Seasons Private Residences at First Avenue and Union Street.
