I love this building! The concierge’s double as security gaurds.. it feels so safe there. The recent remodel in the club room was really well done. I love the new lighting. I just sold a beautiful one bedroom unit there.. my clients are very happy with their new home.
I would discourage anyone interested in purchasing or renting a unit in the Ellington. While it is a beautiful building with wonderful staff, they love to fine their residents large penalties (hundreds of dollars) for seemingly honest mistakes rather than informing you. They also fine based on little or no evidence (i have received fines for trash while out of town). Bottom line, its a beautiful building, but you will have to pay a little more for it than you would expect.
I agree with the above statement, The HOA takes it upon themselves to remodel areas that are perfectly fine with a questionable bid process, then fines you huge amounts of money for things like having a car cover at the front of your $33,000.00 parking space. -Without a single attempt to contact…. why do they pay a concierge? what is their purpose if not to assist the residents? if you try to contact the HOA they make you sit and listen through their meeting then systematically berate you for your suggestions one by one and then tell you they are not going to change anything.
There have been residents in the past that have moved out and sold their units in the past at a loss, investors that have sent people up from California to listen in on meetings to determine what the hell is going on, there are many very unhappy residents in the building as well, another issue was how the condos were marketed as dog friendly by the developer and the HOA slowly made it as difficult as possible for these individuals by restricting their use of the building, imposing fines, and restrictions regarding the size and number of dogs as well as which entrance is appropriate.
They need to move on and stop harassing the other residents in their HOMES, the power trip has reached an all time high and it is REDUCING the value of the property.
Before I bought I heard the Ellington was the best managed building in Belltown.
I have lived in several upmarket condos, and own two now. The Ellington service and staff are seamless compared to every other property I’ve been in!
My Ellington HOA monthly charge is 58.7% of my other place & the service & public areas are much better!
After years in the criminal courts (work, not larceny) I like them quickly issuing a fine for leaving entry doors propped open, or leaving the garage door open & unattended.
I never saw (or stepped in or smelled) any evidence of a “dog crime,” but I would be bristly if my dog was corrected too!
