AVA Takes Unique Sales Approach

Our team had the honor of meeting with AVA’s developer Salim Sayani with Executive Group of Companies and sales manager Peter Oh from Windermere On-Site at Ruth Chris (across the street from the AVA site). I have been watching this building for over a year now and believe it will be a wonderful project and an exciting addition to Seattle’s skyline. The sales center will be located on the corner of 8th and Olive and will house a scale model unit (with the exception of a bedroom) with much more use of space than the previous Cosmopolitan sales center. The sales center is scheduled to open to the public sometime in September.

• We have been given an opportunity to introduce our V.I.P. clients to view the sales center for a private viewing and 1st opportunity to make a reservation before opening to the public. Look for more information on this opportunity in the next few days.

Some insider information Salim delivered was his opinion on some of AVA’s key selling points.

1. location, Location, LOCATION – AVA is located just a block away from everything. The ease for travelers coming from the airport from the new light rail transit center will be unparallel and insures AVA’s boutique hotel success. The community is also located in Seattle’s booming retail core and entertainment section of downtown near 8th and Pine.
2. Well-thought out HOA – Salim also has a well thought out HOA which will maintain owner’s sky lounge and hotel amenities for an approximate $0.58 per square foot. He also emphasized that hotel amenities are paid for ‘a la cart’ as opposed to being burdened on the homeowner if they decide to not use the services. The owners will only pay for what they use.
3. Experience in delivering a project of this type – Executive has delivered other projects in Canada including the 19-story Encore in Coquitlam, the 15-story Executive Tower and Plaza Hotel in Richmond, the 12-story Executive Plaza Hotel in Coquitlam and the 18-story Portofino Tower in Vancouver.
4. Well thought out lifestyle experience. – Comparable to 2200 Westlake w/o the expensive dues, the lifestyle experience at AVA will be in the center of the city. The property itself will feature an outdoor rooftop pool that looks down Pine Street on the 5th floor. The top floor will have a sky lounge for homeowners which includes a wet bar, game room and business center. Another rumor is that the 5,000 square feet of retail space will be taken by the renowned Palm steakhouse.
5. Zen theme – Some other physical characteristics that got our attention was the contemporary design by Garrett Cord Werner which will have zen-like features including spa shower heads, fireplaces and natural stone/wood finishes.
