1700 E. Madison St.
Developer: Ed Linardic
Architect: n/a

Occasionally we come across a building that is a rental, but is so ugly and poorly designed that we have to include it here.
Although, we suspect that it was intended to be a condominium, it’s not any more reasonable as a rental as some of these apartments rent for over $2000 a month. ‘cough, cough’
We guess that the developer was inspired to dumpster dive through the Trader Joe’s garbage next door and ferret away empty boxes and egg containers to use as building materials.
That is the only apparent explanation for the look of the exterior of this building.
According to some reviews of the building, the inside has fared no better.

The bottom two stories look like they came from a different building.

“Seventeen Hundred East Madison, Seattle… SEVENTEEN HUNDRED EAST MADISON, SEATTLE…” I’ve got a feeling that even Dory from Finding Nemo will forget this one. I really hate when people start decorating for Christmas when it’s only August- There should be a law against putting red next to green. The coolest thing about this place is that there’s no excuse for bad cellphone reception…

It looks like it’s actually attached to the two radio towers behind it. How easy this will be to give directions to friends coming over for your next 9/11 memorial event. “Just look for the condo shored up by the two towers.”

Maybe they were hoping its hideousness would be hidden by the rat’s nest of towers and wires surrounding it.
The good news is, the great Cascadia earthquake will probably collapse those towers right on top of the building, crushing its cheap shit construction flat. And if that doesn’t do it, the electrical fires sparked by all of those downed cables will.

The twin radio towers in the back are sending out S.O.S. distress calls but this building, just like the Titanic, is doomed to sink. Bon Voyagie!
