Back in 2017, Redfin named First Hill its hottest neighborhood to close out 2017. As we enter 2019 First Hill is becoming increasingly urban as a number of new high rises within the neighborhood are set to join the city’s skyline. Here’s a preview of what’s to come.

Westbank’s Frye Towers

Upcoming First Hill Developments

Westbank

Located across the street from the Frye Art Museum, Westbank is planning for two 33-story apartment towers with a combined 488 units at 707 Terry Avenue. The two towers are connected via a pedestrian skybridge at the 31st floor, holding the two towers together “as they lean outward in ascension.” Among the project’s other highlights will be the west-facing 32nd floor pool and deck with views of downtown and Elliott Bay.
