Soaring high above Seattle’s vibrant Denny Triangle stands Cirrus a testament to modern architecture and urban living. Cirrus isn’t just a building it’s a statement. A 41-story residential skyscraper named for the wispy clouds that often grace our city’s sky.
Cirrus began its life as 2030 8th Avenue. Construction started in May 2013. The original plan was for condominiums. But GID Development Group shifted gears. They decided on apartments instead. Architects Weber Thompson redesigned the building. They created smaller units perfect for Seattle’s rental market.
Imagine the excitement of October 2015. Cirrus opened its doors. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment averaged a hefty $2903 per month. That’s a significant investment in Seattle’s urban lifestyle. The building boasts 355 units and 330 parking spaces. This ensured that residents had plenty of room to live and park. Cirrus offered more than just apartments. It provided amenities like a fitness center a sky club and a media room. All located on the top floor. Residents enjoyed an award-winning terrace. It provided stunning panoramic views. Pet owners were happy too. Cirrus included a dog grooming station. A 24/7 concierge service offered residents extra convenience.
Cirrus’s design isn’t just stylish. It’s sustainable too. The building achieved LEED Silver certification. It shows a commitment to environmental responsibility. Cirrus even received prestigious awards like the 2016 NAIOP Night of the Stars High-Rise Residential of the Year. Cirrus’s success led to the development of another apartment building. GID Development built Stratus right across Lenora Street.
Cirrus is more than just apartments. It’s a community. It’s a place where urban living meets modern design. It’s a symbol of Seattle’s ever-evolving skyline. It’s a place where life is looking up. Isn’t that something?
