Legacy Residential, a West Coast residential development company, announced the formal opening of Legacy at Riverpark Apartments on June 24.
As a new gateway to downtown Redmond, Legacy at Riverpark Apartments includes 319 luxury apartment homes and 5,700 square feet of street-level retail in three five- to seven-story buildings. The rental office is located at 7753 159th Pl. NE; for information, call (800) 668-9650 or visit www.legacyatriverpark.com.
Legacy at Riverpark Apartments is part of the expansive six-acre, mixed-use Riverpark development, which also includes a 144-room Hotel Sierra, developed by LodgeWorks, a 106,000-square-foot office building anchored by Group Health, street level retail spaces, and secure, underground parking for 750 vehicles.
It is a half-mile from State Route 520 and a five-minute walk along the newly extended and improved Bear Creek Parkway from Redmond Town Center. Just two miles from Microsoft, five miles from downtown Bellevue and 15 miles from downtown Seattle, Riverpark offers excellent commuting options.
“Riverpark represents the future of downtown Redmond,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “This mixed-use, walkable community combines density with a great location and incredible amenities, creating a desirable and sustainable community. I hope that other developers follow its lead, making all of downtown a vibrant place to live, work and play.”
With the 135-unit first phase now completed, Legacy is focusing on completing the second phase, which includes an additional 184 apartment homes. The second phase will open in September.
Kerry Nicholson, senior managing director of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., commented, “Despite the challenging economy, we’re very encouraged by the positive response Legacy at Riverpark has received from the rental market. This is an exceptional project in a one-of-a-kind location with unparalleled amenities.”
Legacy at Riverpark Apartments combines the energy of an urban, mixed-use village and the serenity of a nearby stream surrounded by expansive open spaces and jogging trails.
Many Riverpark homes feature 19-foot ceilings and oversize windows. Homes also include modern and graceful finishes such as hardwood floors, brushed nickel fixtures, stainless steel appliances, hanging pendant lights and granite island countertops. Each Riverpark home has been carefully crafted, and the community offers many unique floor plans to match residents’ individual preferences. Homes range in size from 572-square-foot studios to 2,307-square-foot three-bedroom lofts.
Complementing the private apartment homes are community amenities, including two lounges with indoor/outdoor fireplaces, kitchen areas, a billiard room with a television, dart board and poker table, and theater room with a high-definition projection television and wiring for Wii, Playstation and Xbox.
Other community amenities include club-quality fitness rooms with a private yoga studio, a year-round outdoor hot tub spa, indoor/outdoor fireplaces and barbeques.
The project also features extensively landscaped courtyards and a water feature in a plaza at the west end of the site, connecting residents to the Sammamish River Trail and welcoming park visitors to Riverpark’s “main street” open space.
