Kirkland Development has begun accepting pre-reservations for condo units at the Kirkland Tower – the first residential project at The Waterfront in Vancouver, Washington.
The Kirkland Tower will have 40 condominiums on floors two through 11. The condos will range in size from 1,000 square feet to more than 3,000 square feet.
Kirkland has applied for a building permit for the first phase: an underground parking garage. “We’re hoping to be mobilizing and getting the site ready to go in about six to eight weeks,” Kirkland project manager Dana Gardner said.
A crane is expected to be moved into place in coming weeks. Completion is scheduled for spring 2020.
The 11-story tower, plus a rooftop deck, will be adjacent to the Hotel Indigo, a 138-room luxury hotel. Tower residents will have access to hotel services including concierge, food delivery and room cleaning and turndown.
Prices for the condos will not be released publicly, Gardner said.
The project was designed by Otak of Portland and developed by Kirkland, a Vancouver development firm founded by Dean Kirkland.
Condo construction has been sparse in recent years, although a few developers have forged ahead with for-sale units. Most multifamily developers have overwhelmingly favored apartments during the past decade.
“There haven’t been condos built in Vancouver since the late ’90s, early 2000s,” Gardner said. She said the modest number of units and waterfront location will help the condos succeed.
“It aligned really well with this project,” she said.
The condo tower and hotel will share a firewall. The hotel will take up about two-thirds of Block 4 at The Waterfront site, and the Kirkland Tower will occupy the remainder. An in-house construction company, Kirkland Construction, will serve as general contractor.
The Waterfront is Gramor Development‘s 32-acre project along the Columbia River. At full build-out, the master-planned development is expected to have 3,300 housing units and 1.25 million square feet of office space along with restaurants and retail shops. WildFin American Grill, Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar and Ghost Runners Brewery have leased space at The Waterfront and are scheduled to open this summer.
