SEATTLE, WA – Skanska, a leading global development and construction firm, today announced the opening of pre-leasing for Kaye, a design-forward, 31-story multi-family tower located on the 2200 Block of Fourth Ave in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Thoughtfully designed to reflect the cultural fabric of its neighborhood, Kaye’s blend of innovative architecture, art, and elevated living will make it the premier new apartment residence in Seattle.
Kaye features 324 units, including 10 larger three-bedroom family or shared living units. Located between Blanchard and Bell Streets in the vibrant Belltown neighborhood, Kaye is ideally situated near major downtown employers, local restaurants, entertainment destinations, and Bell Street Park. With 6,100 square feet of airy and open neighborhood ground floor “living room” and café space, ample coworking areas with private study rooms, family outdoor recreation space, multiple rooftop decks and lounges, Kaye sets a new standard for urban living.
“Our vision for Kaye has always been to create more than just a place to live— but a home that is connected to a vibrant community that offers residents the best of city living,” said Charlie Foushée, executive vice president and regional manager for Skanska USA Commercial Development’s Seattle market. “With premium amenities and thoughtfully designed homes, Kaye offers an experience like no other in the market – It’s different here. We are embedded in Belltown with easy walkability to South Lake Union, the new waterfront, and other key parts of Downtown Seattle’s entertainment hubs. We look forward to welcoming our first residents early this summer.”
Each residence at Kaye is designed with high-quality materials and custom details that create a seamless, elevated living experience. Units feature timber built-in bookshelves, integrated oak dining tables with porcelain tabletops, panelized appliances that offer a streamlined look from kitchen to living space, in-unit washer and dryer, expansive walk-in closets, and custom built-in storage solutions. Select homes include dramatic sun nooks that float over the city, offering panoramic views of Seattle’s skyline.

Kaye sits on the same site once occupied by Studio X and Bad Animals, two recording studios where several local and influential musical acts recorded chart-topping albums. Skanska is celebrating the site’s musical past through the inclusion of artwork and media about the artists who recorded there in its ground level living room.
As a developer and builder, Skanska is committed to sustainability. Kaye is targeting LEED Gold, Salmon-Safe, WiredScore Gold and Fitwel certifications. Additionally, as part of the Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA) program, Kaye will contribute an estimated $4.5 million to the city’s affordable housing fund.
