WE BOUGHT A BUILDING! 🌇

Our next challenge is building affordable artist housing downtown. We LOVE downtown. It’s our goal to build affordable for-sale artist housing at 1518 3rd Ave. We envision one and two bedroom residences (with balconies!) adjacent to working artist studio space.

This will be a new undertaking with all the same care for community and Base Camp spunk. But we’re calling this project PARNASSUS, which is where all the muses hung out on Mt. Olympus. We hope you’ll come along for the ride 🤘🏼

Support for @parnassusproject from neighbors, downtown community groups, and friends of the arts has been overwhelmingly positive. Together, we envision this transit-oriented development as an opportunity to repurpose an underused downtown building to provide affordable housing and work space for artists.

We are encouraged by our early conversations with officials and other groups interested in working together to uplift this area of downtown. Won’t you join us in building something special at PARNASSUS?! 💜

@parnassusproject

We just bought a building! And we’re looking to infuse it with creativity starting NOW! Are you looking for a studio? We have over 60(!) spaces available across 8 floors in the heart of downtown Seattle. Our address is 1518 3rd Ave.

At PARNASSUS we have all kinds of spaces available. Some are cozy at approximately 100 square feet (sf) while others are massive and more than 500 sf. Folks can even rent entire floors! We have private spaces and shared spaces. Some have huge windows and balconies(!) while others are interior. Each floor is unique, has a kitchenette and ample restrooms. The building is access controlled. Each artist will have their own entry code. Elevator access is restricted by floor, so you can be sure your creative space is safe.

Eventually we will convert this building to affordable for-sale living and working spaces for artists. We hope to start construction in one year (around April 2027). When that happens we will try our best to find new space for artists, but cannot provide guarantees. But we can promise we will try very hard! As such, these are temporary working spaces and will be offered at an affordable rate.

Studio prices are based on a formula for fairness. Smaller studios have a higher price per square foot while larger studios have a lower price per square foot. Studios with massive windows and natural light have a small premium. Shared spaces have a discount. Overall, the range is from $1.25/sf to $2.50/sf.

What will happen when you complete this survey? We will follow-up with you within two weeks (hopefully sooner) to schedule a tour to see the space in person! Responses received before May 2 will have tours scheduled for the week of May 4.

Tour times will be:
Wednesday, May 6 from 6pm - 8pm
Thursday, May 7 from 10am - 12pm, and 4pm - 6pm
Friday, May 8 from 12pm - 2pm
Saturday, May 9 from 12pm - 2pm, and 3pm - 5pm

We can’t wait to see what you will create in this space! We are so excited for the opportunity ahead and are stoked for the community we will build together!
