Westlake Steps, a new, 385-unit apartment opposite Lake Union, captures the fun of “living the lake” with bold exterior colors, a through-block connecter flanked by an impressive water feature and multiple spaces for a young and lively demographic to connect. Amenities include four spacious rooftop decks with lake views, two outdoor cinemas, a two-lane bowling alley and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Development challenges were a steep slope and a brownfield site requiring extensive environmental remediation.
