Announcing The Opening Of EXPO - Luxury Apartments In Queen Anne

SEATTLE, July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EXPO, a luxury apartment building situated in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, will be preleasing in July, and ready for first occupancy this fall.  The unique community borrows its name from the Century 21 Exposition, a world's fair event held in Seattle in 1962.

Future residents can expect to enjoy becoming a part of an up-tempo residence in an engaging Seattle community.  The community features studios, one and two-bedrooms and townhomes.  Gourmet kitchens, individual washers and dryers and three rooftop decks abound.  A resident lounge with Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art fitness center, ample parking and a rooftop garden highlight convenience and quality living.  The property's 2,000 square foot courtyard at its entrance coupled with its plans for ground floor retail units, a car-charging station and dog wash will add to the convenience factor of this property. 

"EXPO is situated on the land where the Century 21 Exposition took place 50 years ago," says Director of Marketing and Communications, Darcey A. Forbes.  "So naming our luxury apartment building EXPO is an act of commemoration and celebration of the 50th anniversary of this part of Seattle's history.

"And as we move forward with the opening of our new building, we will also celebrate our own part in Seattle's future."
