The building’s amenities include the Olympic Room, a double-height glass encased clubroom.

Daniels Create World Seattle and Create World Real Estate of Bellevue have completed The Emerald, a 40-story, 262-unit luxury condo tower at 121 Stewart St. overlooking Pike Place Market and Elliott Bay in Seattle.

Studio and one- and two-bedroom units range from 579 to 1,189 square feet. They are listed from $500,000 to over $3 million.

The building also has 22 two-, three- and four-bedroom penthouses of between 1,139 and 3,948 square feet. They are priced from $2.37 million to $10.9 million.

The developers said they have contracted $20 million in sales in the past two months.

They said the project was designed by the female-led Seattle-based team of Julia Nagele of Hewitt, an architecture firm, and Susan Marinello of Susan Marinello Interiors. Andersen Construction was the general contractor and ASI Structures provided engineering.

Each of the condos has Latch touchless and keyless entry technology, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, wide-plank European white oak hardwood flooring, custom wood cabinetry with integrated lighting and quartz countertops.

All penthouses have walk-in closets, stone slab countertops and backsplashes, stone floors and soaking tubs. The two top-floor penthouses, Trillion and Marquise, have “creme de la creme in interiors and design,” the developers said in a press release.

The building has a full-floor rooftop amenity deck. It includes the Olympic Room, a double-height glass encased clubroom with catering kitchen opening to the water and Olympic Mountains and indoor and outdoor lounge and firepits.

A third-floor indoor and outdoor amenity space with exposure to Second Avenue has an outdoor pet run, pet spa, fitness center, yoga studio and guest suite.

Two-bedroom residences and higher have access to a parking space in the building, the developers said. Through a partnership with Thompson Seattle, residents can rent a parking space in the adjacent hotel's garage.

Residents can also rent a Tesla Model X or Model S car that will be kept at The Emerald through a partnership with Envoy Technologies.

A 3,907-square-foot retail space on two levels at Stewart Street and Second Avenue and another 730-square-foot space facing Stewart are available. The developers said the larger space is ideal for a full-service restaurant, bar or lounge, art/furniture gallery or bank/financial institution; and the smaller one can accommodate a cafe, juice/smoothie bar, ice cream parlor, fast-casual restaurant, hair/beauty salon, yoga studio or boutique. Tory Glossip with Colliers International is the commercial leasing broker.

Polaris Pacific is doing sales and marketing of the condos. The development has six one- or two-bedroom model homes, with a design by ASH Staging, a division of AD100 design firm ASH NYC. Tours of The Emerald are by appointment.

Move-in is slated for the end of the year.
