Bellevue, WA

The LIV Apartments project is located in the Bel-Red subarea in Bellevue just south the Redmond campus for Microsoft. The large, 4+ acre site fronts on Bel-Red Road and is surrounded by a wide range of adjacent commercial uses and scales. The primary entry courtyard from Bel-Red is surrounded by three residential towers with stunning views of downtown Bellevue and Seattle as well as the Olympic Mountains. A multiple-building design response was utilized to reduce bulk and scale as well as to maximize ground level open space. Live-work units occupy the project’s ground level frontage while a prominent retail unit anchors the project’s Bel-Red frontage. All unit interiors are adorned in modern appointments with Energy Star appliances and contemporary finishes.
