There’s another 1,500 square feet of terraces outside that wrap around most of the building, and it features rare 270-degree views of everything from the Space Needle and downtown to Lake Union and (on clear days) Mount Rainier.Those are at least partially protected by local restrictions designed to protect views of the Space Needle.

Inside the ’80s-era 24-story building, at Second Avenue and Broad Street, the suite was completely redone down to the studs by a team of Seattle architects and interior designers over the past three years.
