A LUXURIOUS LANDMARK IS ARRIVING IN BELLEVUE

Jaw-dropping city, mountain, and water views. Sweeping balconies merged with indoor living spaces. Resort-style amenities. Top-tier dining. Thoughtfully curated designer retail. All located at the iconic corner of NE 8th Street and Bellevue Way—just opposite Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square, and Bellevue Place. With each passing day and each construction milestone, this place is solidifying its presence as the focal point for the surrounding community

“ I had a vision for a project that I felt that this city, Bellevue, needed ,” explains Andy Lakha, principal and CEO of Fortress Development “I have been a citizen of Bellevue for 20 years, and I feel like it’s becoming a world-class city. But it did not have any world-class projects— or at least it needed to increase the level of the buildings and places to go.”

Now it’s all happening. Can you feel the anticipation?

Bellevue is, by nearly any measure, a world-class city: a high quality of life, growing investment in local and regional infrastructure, safety, beautiful outdoor space, top-ranked schools, and a vibrant economy. As a member of the sales team puts it, “ is place is home to tech industry giants. It’s surrounded by spectacular parks, lakes, and mountains And it’s just steps away from some

of the most desirable shopping in the country. Avenue Bellevue is a once-in-a-lifetime real estate opportunity.”

Just next month, Avenue is poised to pour the final floor of concrete on its Estates Tower, bringing this bold new mixed-use community one step closer to becoming Bellevue’s most elegant, elevated address e project as a whole, which also includes the Residences Tower, is set for completion in autumn of 2023. When it’s finished, Avenue will feature 224 Residences homes and 141 Estates homes—all anchored by the Pacific Northwest’s first-ever InterContinental® Hotel, the world’s largest luxury hotel brand .

e hotel will offer 208 sophisticated guest rooms, as well as event spaces, restaurants, a chic lobby bar, a full-service fitness center and spa, and a dedicated concierge team. What’s best: Avenue Estates residents will have access to all the features and amenities of the hotel, as if they’re living in a luxury resort—and some will even have access to Avenue’s chauffeured Rolls–Royce services.

At the foot of these two striking towers

sits a European-inspired piazza. It’s perfect for a solo stroll, gathering with friends, enjoying coffee or tea al fresco, and Bellevue’s best people-watching. is buzzing hub also includes 85,000 square feet of high-end , destination-quality retail, dining, and nightlife One of Avenue’s anchor tenants will be a signature restaurant by Joshua Skenes, whose San Francisco institution Saison earned him three Michelin stars in 2014. is specialty restaurant will be joined by a superb selection of casual and fine dining offerings. Together, they will complement the wide variety of high-end restaurants in the area and create a culinary hotspot to rival any in the Pacific Northwest. Bellevue is a regional draw when it comes to retail, too, with high-end designer shops like Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Prada all boasting brick-and-mortar locations here ere’s also a Nordstrom, as well as many other nationally and internationally known brands. With all the excitement surrounding this city and this neighborhood , it’s easy to lose sight of the homes themselves. But we really shouldn’t ey are spectacular.

First, the kitchens: Imagine fine Italian cabinetry from Ernestomeda, plus soft- close Legrabox drawers. Soft, functional, integrated under-cabinet and shelf lighting, illuminating Caesarstone quartz kitchen counters and backsplashes made from fine Italian marble. Kitchen islands feature waterfall edges, also made from Italian marble, and select homes also offer built-in, under-cabinet wine coolers. Every home comes with high-end Gaggenau appliances and gas cooktops.

Bathro oms envelop residents in fine-grained detail: exotic, floor-to-ceiling tile in marble fin ishes, an exclusive line of faucets and fixtures

firm

Estate homes and select Residences also feature expansive Poliform closets, and all homes are equipped with advanced technology features, including wireless lockset (keyless entry) to provide easy access when paired with owners’ phones. ey also offer smart connectivity across a range of other services, including integrated control of A/V equipment, lighting, shades, security, and even electric vehicle parking and charging—all from a phone or tablet.

“People are going to talk about Avenue,” predicts Director of Development Arne Hall. “ It’s going to anchor the northwest village of Bellevue. You’ve got a lot of beautiful orthogonal buildings but here you have something that is a different geometry, and it’s based upon a vision.”

Initial sales numbers seem to confirm Hall’s projection: Fortress has sold more than 50% of available homes—which range from one-bedrooms to three-bedrooms. e development team, which Fortress leads, also includes the New York–based Silverstein Properties (development advisor) and JTM Construction ( general contractor) Avenue’s design team includes Seattle-based Weber omp son and Collins Woerman, as well as renowned interior design Hirsch Bedner (HBA), the largest hospitality design firm in the world e project also drew on expertise from Huang Dao, a master feng shui practitioner, and PFS Studio, an urban design and landscape architecture firm.

Avenue will soon become a signature part of the Bellevue skyline, etching itself into the city’s narrative and its history And let’s face it: things are better at the top

Welcome to the Bellevue lifestyle you have always imagined.
