Tacoma and South Puget Sound Real Estate Blog
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
Posted by Devona Wells @ 11:19:50 am

I’m working on a story about the $1 million condo club in downtown Tacoma. It is so far a rarefied collection, with only a handful of units for sale. Here’s what they all have in common: Big views, lots of square footage, their location in an emerging market. And the promise of urban living.

Is downtown Tacoma the kind of place where buyers will drop $1 million for a condominium? So far, a developer for 505 Broadway says deposits have been put down on two of the building’s five $1 million-plus units, with sales expected to close in the summer when construction wraps up.

If you had $1 million to spend on a home, is this where you’d put it? Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find: Elevator entrances, massive balconies, two-story windows, private wine rooms and multiple master bedrooms.
