Towering at 330 feet, Escala is one of Seattle's most talked-about luxury high-rises. Developed by The Midby Companies, led by visionary John Midby, Escala houses 274 units that range from 900 to 4,500 square feet.
Escala stuns at first sight, thanks to its base adorned with stone, precast concrete, and decorative cornices on columns. Its unique design and construction, a massive $370 million project, were accomplished by structural engineers Cary Kopczynski and Company, architects Weisman Design Group Inc., Thoryk Architects, and MulvannyG2 Architects. Interior design credit goes to DiLeonardo, known for designing properties like the Ritz-Carlton in Egypt, Crowne Plaza in New York, and the Oterra Hotel in India.
The luxurious amenities occupy a sprawling 25,000 square feet, featuring an exercise room and spa, a theater, a bar and lounge, and a wine cave. One cannot miss the grand entrance that houses a marble staircase spiraling up to the second floor.
Each unit at Escala exudes opulence, with private elevator entrances, extensive hardwood flooring, and top-of-the-line Bosch appliances. Many of the homes offer sweeping views of both the city and the sound, providing residents with a mesmerizing daily panorama.
Living at Escala is not merely about owning a piece of real estate; it's an immersive experience in luxury and sophistication.
