SEATTLE, Oct. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader
in apartment development and management, today announced the start
of leasing at Valdok, a luxury apartment community integrated with
smart-home technology in the eclectic Ballard neighborhood of
northwestern Seattle.
The first phase of the seven-story luxury development features
178 apartment homes and boasts close proximity to the hip, trendy
offerings of the waterfront neighborhood. When complete, the second
phase will add 164 homes to the community. Seventh-floor residents
will have voice-activated control of several in-home features
through Amazon's Alexa device, making Valdok one of the first in
the Seattle area to offer this
collection of smart-home features.
Among the technologies incorporated are a Ruckus Router, Lutron
Pico Remote for dimming lights and controlling smart-home speakers
and an Amazon Echo built in to a Sonos Play:1. Select homes will
include Lutron roller shades, which can be controlled through a
smartphone.
"The Ballard neighborhood is always bustling with an extremely
active vibe and is the ideal backdrop for a vintage Seattle experience," said Brad Reisinger, division president of the
Pacific Northwest for LMC. "We're excited to add to our presence in
the area with Valdok, which we believe will serve as a top-tier
living option with its spacious layouts, cozy ambiance and suite of
smart-home features."
Inspired by the Valdok family's storied Scandinavian roots and
heritage, the community design embraces the area's rich Northern
European history. Located at 1701 NW 56th Street, Valdok features
two buildings that sit across from one another on opposite sides of
56th Street. The community is situated near a working waterfront
brimming with some of Seattle's
trendiest nightlife, retail and cuisine spots. Dining options
include Asadero Ballard, No Bones Beach Club, The Walrus and the
Carpenter and San Fermo. Ballard is also home to the Nordic Museum,
Bergen Place Park, Ballard Farmers Market, 17th of May
Festival and Larsen's Danish Bakery.
The Ballard Bridge and 15th Avenue NW provide access
to downtown, South Lake Union and many other key employment centers
in Seattle's tech-savvy and
medical-rich job market. In addition, the King County Metro has five bus routes that go
through Ballard, and Burke-Gilman Trail is a 20-mile trail that
serves as a prime transportation corridor for commuters and
recreational enthusiasts. The community is also a short distance
from Ballard Locks and Golden
Gardens Park.
Valdok consists of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartment homes with
live/work homes available, ranging from 485 to 1,206 square feet.
Apartment interiors are delivered with quartz countertops, designer
lighting, high-end stainless steel kitchen appliances,
hardwood-style plank flooring, full-size washers and dryers,
ceramic tile tub surrounds, lighted bathroom mirrors and
under-cabinet lighting.
Community amenities include a clubhouse with full kitchen and
gaming area, co-working spaces with state-of-the-art technology,
top-of-the-line 24-hour fitness center, pet park with dog wash and
grooming stations and a rooftop deck with fireplaces, barbecue
grills and outdoor lounge areas. Residents will also have access to
24-hour package service, bike storage and additional storage.
Including Valdok, LMC has four apartment communities in
operation or under construction in the Seattle area. Others include Twenty20 Mad,
Axle and The Bower (in Kirkland).
The second phase of Valdok, currently under construction, is on
pace to open in 2019.
