		<title>Summit Condos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[900 Summit Ave E

OMG! We totally saw this cardboard and red rubberband building kit on Etsy. This must be the beginner&#8217;s building set.
 We suggest one or two more giant rubberbands to keep the boxes from falling into the neighbor&#8217;s yard. 
We do hope it is easy to move, maybe folds up for convenient shipping, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Columbia City Condos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[5220 42nd Ave. S.
Developer: 20th Century Development
Architect: n/a

This is a very depressing building. 
Really,  this looks like class C office space heavily sprayed with textured pancake make-up relabeled as a condominium. We feel like we&#8217;re going to hear a dental drill.
We would like to point out that at some time the vinyl sales flags [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[523 Broadway Ave. E.
Developer: Essex Broadway LLC
Architect: Matt Driscoll*




Broadway&#8217;s going beige and soon to be renamed Belltown Hill. 
Here&#8217;s one side of the new condos across the street from Brix, and what we have to look forward to in the future.


Yes, something needed to be built on the lot, but why for the  LOVE [...]]]></description>

		<title>The hole.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Second and Pine St.


















Another resplendent condo project gone belly up.  From a parking lot to a mega-hole, and back to a parking lot (soon).  Will there be another hole?
Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if instead of reverting to a parking lot, we had a below grade zen garden or fabulous sculptures a la Olympic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Residences at 500 Elliott</title>
		<description><![CDATA[500 Elliott Avenue
Developer:  Equity Residential® Condominiums
Architect: witness protection program

Welcome to the Seattle accordion condos, the Residences at 500 Elliott.
This unmusical building lets out an ugly tone when you squeeze it, something like an emission and a cat screeching at the same time.
This might also be the largest &#8220;oops paint&#8221; building we&#8217;ve come across.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marselle condominiums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[115 Aurora Ave N
Developer: Norcon/Sierra
Architect: gulag
 You have now entered the Grey Zone. 
Nouveau Cold War style.  A block of severe housing for the people.

 
Don&#8217;t fret comrade, although the prices are not for mere proletariats. . .

There are some 345 sq ft. cheap seats at only $150,000.
View the grandeur of the citizenry on [...]]]></description>

		<title>West Water condominiums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[6960 California Ave SW
Developer: Gamel/Mastro
Architect: in hiding
It&#8217;s like the flagstone stairs and the orange awnings are leading somewhere else. 
Maybe the building is in the witness protection program and not really two abysmally beige condo boxes. 
We suspect under the sober facade is a fun land of fountains, gambling and speakeasies.
On the record, these luxurious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[4309 34th Avenue W
Developer: James Paul Jones
Architect: James Paul Jones

Discover pale beige! Discover the bunker lifestyle!
 
We find this building a little martial and scary, and wonder if it goes underground for seven stories and is filled with nuclear secrets and code breakers working round the clock.
It also looks like a military pre-school.
They were going [...]]]></description>

Quality contemporary design.
