I didn't even attempt to go inside (cuz that would make me a creeper), but just took a few pictures on the outside. Unlike the movie, there is no "Escala" sign on top of the building, so it may be easy to miss. There is however, a large, multi story, Bed Bath and Beyond store directly across from it. The Escala is located on the corner of 4th Street and Virginia. Not much to see here, but a great place to take selfies and tell your friends back home, you went to Christian's pad.

This is an apartment building with an amazing community, excellent management, kind maintenance and…read moreoffice staff, and great rooms. On my first day in the apartment, maintenance grabbed their concrete drill and drilled and helped me mount my TV on the wall. I don't know of another place that will help you drill a hole in their walls but this stood out to me as amazing. He did a great job too, no problems for the two years I was there. I wish I had time to write in detail all the amazing things about this place, Wave G (gigabit no hassle internet), workout room with full speaker wiring and Bluetooth to hook up your music, awesome package service, rooftop garden, etc The only downside is that this place is across the street from a hospital and there are occasional sirins. I would never have left this place if I didn't want to buy a condo of my own.

The location is quite convenient, close to downtown, Capitol Hill, and the Central District. The building itself is elegant and maintenance is consistently excellent. Our one-bedroom apartment is lovely. Management is first rate: professional and very much committed to serving the residents. We highly recommend the Marlborough to anyone looking to rent near downtown.

I visited The Cobb. The apartments are spacious and the ceiling is high. It's clean. But it can be…read morepretty dark depending on what floor and what the windows are facing. The apartment I visited had large windows but the view was utterly ugly with concrete and dead trees. The windows looked like it's been a while it hasn't been washed. Not sure if it's from the inside or the outside. The cabinets look nice. Washer and dryer are dated. It's not gas stove as shown in the pictures. The blinds look old. It's better to visit in person and find out if it would work out for you. It's not a bad place to rent. However the stench from the Bank of America entrance right next to The Cobb's entrance was unbearable: an incredibly strong pee and mold odor that made me want to throw up! So I ended up not applying.

As a life-long apartment resident across various states and countries - I have never met a team so competent, patient, responsive, and willing to work with the residents (and their fur babies!). Ben and Luis (Leasing Office Managers), Russ (building super - who made my cat a string toy with his own hands!), the cleaning crew are all unsung heroes navigating through the craziness of COVID and everyday operations of a 100+ year-old building so gracefully and effectively. I highly recommend this building due in large part to all the above (besides the obvious beauty and charm of living in a landmark Seattle building). 5 stars!

Management is doing what they can, but has no support from ownership. They do not send out any surveys to residents on feedback. They change policies without notifications and taking away many of the reasons we originally chose to live here. They do take care of the property well and they do offer wonderful amenities, but now with more restrictions. Hotel guests ruin it for us and we will not be resigning overall. Residents have a group where they share in general- lots of residents reporting when moving out being charged for things that need repairs but are not. Thankfully some residents are putting together a case.

Wow. What a stunning property in a prime location. Spire is a 40-story, 343-unit condominium…read morebuilding located on the border of the Belltown and Cascade neighborhoods in downtown Seattle. The building was completed and ready for move-ins in 2021. Simply put, it's modern, luxurious living in the heart of Seattle. I have to admit, I think one of the coolest things about this place is the automated parking garage underground. When you return home, you conveniently park your car in one of multiple bays after which it's lowered and "filed" away into storage. At the time of writing this review, this is Seattle's only automated parking system (and it's also the city's first). The entire property has a really sleek, contemporary design. The common areas look lifted off the pages of a magazine with extra-high ceilings and chic furniture, fixtures, and decor. There was always at least one or two concierges staffing the front desk downstairs, and they were always nice and polite. The building has incredible unobstructed views, especially from the outdoor "Sound Terrace" on the 40th floor. You can see Elliott Bay, the Space Needle, Lake Union, Amazon HQ and the rest of the city skyline, and more. The property is also quite secure and the elevators are among the fastest I've experienced anywhere, residential or commercial. Nepalese cafe Himalayan Java moved from Lynnwood and opened on the ground level of Spire in August 2022. Their Honey Latte is good.

I've been to the new apartments coming online like Ren, Onni etc and I'm happy I'm at Insignia.

There's community here if you want it, ease to host for your own social events, and a location that doesn't make you spend over $100 on on demand electric scooters just to go overspend on a dinner or a drink.

They have 1 and 2 bedroom places, with just a few 3 bedroom places which I believe are all sold already. It was awesome that they were honest about one side of their building's view will be blocked once the Nexxus building goes up across the street with 41ish floors too. This location is right down the street from Amazon's new headquarters building and pretty walkable to most everything else. Parking is available where owners get 2 spots and some storage below the building. HOA costs seem pretty steep to me ($1500-2200+/month?), but I am also not a city dweller, so maybe this is normal. You do get a front door person (building is locked at all times), access to a great work out area, movie theater, party room, sun deck areas on the almost top floor, as well as a dog poopie area (never seen this before) with fake grass and a spraying hose--even a decorative fire hydrant for dogs to get that city feel while several stories (I forgot how many), so you don't have to go outside of the building to have your dog go to pottie. All-in-all nice place. Just wish I saw it while there were units on the other side with the view that isn't blocked/won't be blocked.

There's also a bus stop right outside, and light rail a few blocks away for speedy access to downtown Seattle or anywhere else you might want to go. There are several rooftop terraces with grills, an awesome gym, parking & storage, a large bookable kitchen + socialization space, a bookable theater for movie nights with friends, and guest suite which can be rented by residents' visitors for a small fraction of the cost of an AirBnb or hotel room (studio unit for I think ~$50 per night!). The units have nice little kitchens with garbage disposals and dishwashers, washing machines and dryers in-unit, stainless appliances etc., which was really nice. I had a ton of amazing experiences living here and still own my unit, would definitely recommend to anyone.
