What’s better than living downtown?
Living downtown… on the water!
Whether you're a tech professional seeking the perfect work-life balance, a couple looking for the ultimate urban home or someone who wants to watch the sunset over the water every single evening, AMLI Waterfront's luxury 1 & 2 bedroom apartments on the shores of Elliott Bay provide the ideal setting for your dream Seattle lifestyle. From panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to world-class amenities and meticulously designed interiors, every aspect of life here is crafted to exceed expectations.
Here’s what we have to offer!
Waterfront life meets luxurious living at AMLI Waterfront
Living at the heart of Seattle's waterfront
Located on the shore of Elliott Bay directly across from The Seattle Great Wheel, AMLI Waterfront places you at the epicenter of everything that makes Seattle extraordinary: the views, the vibes and the vibrant downtown energy! This isn't just about having a prestigious downtown address, either — it's about being part of the city's most exciting neighborhood while enjoying immediate access to the experiences that define Pacific Northwest living.
Just steps from your front door, the newly revamped Seattle Waterfront stretches up and down along the stunning Elliott Bay, offering miles of scenic pathways that are perfect for morning runs, dog walks or evening strolls. The reimagined Seattle Aquarium, with its brand new Ocean Pavilion, provides world-class marine education and entertainment just a minute or two from home. For those seeking a bird's eye view of the city, the iconic Seattle Great Wheel and the attractions at Miner's Landing are literally around the corner, making it easy to play tourist in your own backyard whenever the mood strikes. Plus, you’ll never have to go far for those Instagram-able moments.
Pike Place Market, Seattle's soul and one of the nation's oldest continuously operating farmers markets, is just a short walk away. Here, you can start your morning with coffee from the original Starbucks, gather fresh flowers and produce from local vendors or discover unique artisan crafts that capture the spirit of the Northwest. The market's fishmongers, with their daily fresh catch of the Sound’s tastiest seafoods, offer up some of the best produce you can find in the area (and arguably, in the state!).
The strategic location of these downtown Seattle apartments means you're perfectly positioned for both work and play. Tech professionals particularly appreciate the seamless connectivity to the city's major business districts, with downtown offices and coworking spaces within walking distance, while South Lake Union's tech corridor, Eastlake's startup scene and Capitol Hill's creative hub are all easily accessible by bike, bus, train or foot. The nearby Symphony light rail station connects you to the entire metro area, and with multiple bus lines at your disposal, plus abundant Lime scooters and bikes stationed throughout the neighborhood, your daily commute becomes remarkably effortless. Who needs a car, anyway?
Cultural enthusiasts will find themselves at the center of Seattle's arts and entertainment scene, too. Benaroya Hall, home to the Seattle Symphony, offers world-class performances throughout the year, while the Seattle Art Museum, with its impressive collections and rotating exhibitions, provides endless inspiration just blocks away. Pioneer Square's galleries and vibrant nightlife scene offer evening entertainment options, while the historic waterfront piers host seasonal events and festivals that celebrate Seattle's maritime heritage. Not to mention there are tons of cool sights like the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park museum and the Seattle Underground tours, for when your guests need something to do close by!
As for dining, the neighborhood delivers an exceptional variety of options! The surrounding blocks feature everything from James Beard Award-winning restaurants to cozy cafés and international cuisine that reflects Seattle's diverse culinary landscape. For example, Elliott's Oyster House offers a daily catch and extensive wine list to create memorable dining experiences for locals and visitors alike.
The Washington State Ferry terminal, also within walking distance, opens up a world of island adventures where weekend trips to Bainbridge Island, Vashon Island, or the San Juan Islands become spontaneous escapes rather than planned expeditions. This access to both the city’s best urban amenities and the region’s abundance of natural beauty perfectly captures what makes our luxury Seattle Waterfront apartments so desirable — you really do get the best of both worlds!
Resort-style amenities that elevate everyday living
At AMLI Waterfront, we have an amenity collection that lives up to the community’s already-impressive list of qualities! With practical features and must-have luxuries that make everyday life better than ever, our building is packed with perks — the crown jewel of which is undoubtedly our rooftop terrace, where the Puget Sound’s stunning natural beauty becomes your personal backdrop. We truly do have some of the best water, mountain, and city views available in the entire city.
The expansive rooftop spaces feature multiple terraces equipped with cozy cabanas, professional-grade grills and comfy fireplaces that extend the outdoor season well into Seattle's cooler months. Up here, with panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and the city skyline, hosting guests truly becomes an art form. Whether you're grilling fresh salmon for friends on a summer evening or gathering around the fireplace with a glass of Washington wine on a crisp fall night, these spaces transform ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.
The rooftop clubroom takes entertainment to another level, featuring a striking fireplace, billiard table and those same gorgeous views that make every gathering feel special. The adjacent chef's kitchen, complete with professional appliances, dining tables and a full bar, allows you to host dinner parties and events that your guests will talk about long after they leave. This is where community comes together for wine tastings, holiday parties, or impromptu weekend gatherings with neighbors who become friends.
Fitness and wellness take center stage with a fully equipped gym featuring state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment, while the dedicated yoga studio provides a serene environment for practice, meditation or stretching after a long day. Large windows flood both spaces with natural light and frame those incredible Seattle views, making your workout feel less like a chore and more like a luxury.
The media lounge offers a cinematic experience for movie nights, sports events, or binge-watching sessions with friends, while three separate lounge areas throughout the building, each equipped with large-screen TVs and comfortable seating, provide variety for socializing or finding your perfect work-from-home spot outside your apartment.
For pet owners, AMLI Waterfront goes above and beyond as a truly pet-friendly community. The dedicated dog run gives your four-legged friends space to play and socialize, while the building's location near the waterfront trails provides endless walking opportunities.
It’s not just the glitz and glam that makes living here a treat. A controlled-access parking garage, electric vehicle charging stations and a comprehensive mailroom make the everyday grind a little easier, while resident storage units and bike storage solve the eternal urban challenge of space and urban transportation. Finally, the on-site concierge services add an extra touch of luxury to daily life, helping with everything from restaurant reservations to coordinating maintenance requests and more!
The building also features on-site retail spaces, bringing convenient shopping and dining options directly to your doorstep. This thoughtful integration of commercial and residential space embodies modern urban planning, reducing the need for unnecessary trips while fostering a vibrant, active streetscape that’s deeply connected to the surrounding community!
Sophisticated interiors designed for modern living

A gourmet kitchen serves as the beating heart of each home, featuring stainless steel Bosch appliances that combine modern engineering with sleek aesthetics, dual gas ranges that will satisfy the most serious of home chefs and ultra-quiet dishwashers ensure that post-dinner cleanup never interrupts conversation or relaxation. Elegant quartz countertops provide both beauty and durability, offering ample space for meal preparation and casual dining, while custom soft-close cabinetry maximizes storage while maintaining the clean lines that define contemporary design.
Throughout each apartment, hardwood-inspired flooring creates warmth and continuity, while the dimmable lighting systems allow you to set the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Central air conditioning — a luxury in Seattle — ensures year-round comfort, particularly appreciated during the increasingly warm summer months. It’s a match made in climate-controlled heaven!
The bedrooms feature spacious closets that make the most of every square foot, while large windows frame spectacular views and flood the spaces with natural light, creating an airy, open feeling that makes even the coziest apartments feel expansive. Plus, the stunning bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs perfect for unwinding after exploring the city or conquering a challenging workday
Oh, and did we mention the washer and dryer in every apartment? Because we have that, too!
We understand that luxury isn't just about high-end finishes, but also about creating spaces that enhance your lifestyle. Open floor plans facilitate both entertaining and everyday living, while the private balconies in select units offer personal outdoor space where you can enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets over Elliott Bay. It’s everything you’d want, and more!
