The Sanctuary Apartments provide the key residential element at the Landing, and will enhance day-and-night energy in the retail/restaurants and entertainment.
Here is the LINK to the Sanctuary Apartments at the Landing. “The Sanctuary” will offer great views, easy access to shopping and Coulon Beach Park, convenient access to the freeway, and many modern features. I’ve heard from many Renton citizens who are interested in leasing one of the new apartments– I think they will go pretty fast.
I am happy for your enthusiasm, but I personally think that are rather an eyesore and I am not to certain that many have views, given there construction – hope you are right and that others find them attractive to live in, unlike myself
There’s some really *stupid* laws about apartments not having windows from the 1970’s fuel crisis – basically apartments can only have a few SQ FT of windows space for ‘efficiency’ reasons. One of the loopholes is that doors don’t count – hence why you see all the sliding glass doors going to useless balconies.
One of my family members wanted to make really nice apartments in order to help the neighborhood – he had to make crappy little ‘chicken coops’ just like everybody else by law.
Windows
That seems odd about the windows, is this a county law? I live in and manage a new buidling in downtown Seattle and we have floor to ceiling wall to wall windows.
Re: Windows
I found out that the rules come from the lending source – if the lending sources traces it’s way back to the feds, then it’s the feds that put the stipulation in with the construction loan.
Basically, if the feds have to foreclose, they don’t want energy inefficient apartments to manage. Sadly, their rules haven’t kept up with the times.
Intersting fact on the window size limit!
I seems to remember they were supposed to be condos…
You remember correctly. We had talked about condos very early on (several years ago), but the private sector had a concern that individual condo buyers would not be willing to invest heavily enough prior to build-out of both phase one and phase two of the Landing. The developers could more reliably get financing to build high-end apartments than high-end condos prior to the urban center springing to life . The apartments could be converted to condos someday, or phase two of the Landing may include condos.
