The Cleveland

Builder: Intracorp
Website: Link

Price range: $300's to $500's
Construction type: Condo
Square footage: 500s to 1200s

MLS Listings
28175169
28171929 (also listed as 28057251)

This place had a sales office in downtown Redmond for a while, a few blocks from the actual development. They even built an example kitchen in this sales office, which was something that I had not seen before.

I never did see what these places were like on the inside when completed. There certainly seem to be a range of sizes though. This was interesting to me because it was the first development in this style that I saw in Redmond, even though I had seen it in Seattle before.

This complex is easily seen on Redmond way when driving between Kirkland and Redmond, with distinctive modern architecture. I have not toured the place at all.

I have scoured the website but cannot find prices or square footage, so any help with these details would be appreciated.

I looked at a Northstar model home a couple of years ago. The size of the houses seem very good for a family with a couple of kids, and the yards are about medium sized for the area (not the 1 metre deep affairs you see at some places, but not on an acre either).

This project I did tour a couple of years ago - it has been going for a few years now. The houses are large, upscale construction with what I would call a medium sized yard for the Eastside.

Aspen Ridge

Builder: Buchan Homes
Website: Link

Price range: $800's to $900's
Construction type: SFH
Square footage: 3000s

MLS Listings
28148572 (also listed as 28003007)
28148564 (also listed as 28109819)

This project is one of many up on 116th street in Redmond that started in the past few years. Buchan actually have 3 projects in this area (I will be putting those up soon as well). I drove past this development recently and there are still some houses under construction.

I have not been inside any of these, but the photos of the place on the MLS look very nice, especially the flooring and kitchens. One of the listings has a lot in the 5000s of square feet, and while it does not appear level it does appear to be a good enough size to toss a ball with a rugrat.

Introduction

With this blog I hope to keep track of the new construction projects (both Condo and SFH) around Redmond, Washington. Over time I hope to also try to analyze listing data to provide a local context on the state of the market.

I am doing this purely as a personal research project and in a blog form so that anybody else who is interested in the data can see it and possibly contribute. I am not being paid to do it, and I am not employed by any builder or any other entity involved in local real estate.

If you know of a new construction project in the area, please leave a comment and let me know the details. I will be trying to update the pages with a couple of projects every day, with time allowing, and when I have all of the current projects up I will try to keep up with new additions and developments as they come.
