First Light Condominium was one of the first projects to move forward with the current building cycle and has done quite well with presales. Even though they are yet to break ground, they have sold 300 of the 459 units available.
Located on the cusp of Belltown and downtown at 2000 3rd Avenue, First Light was introduced to Seattle back in 2018 by the Vancouver, Canada-based Westbank Corp.
The 48-story tower will be among the tallest residential / office high-rises in Seattle featuring a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and three-bedroom homes providing exquisite in-city, luxury living. Commerical office space will inhabit the 7-story podium at the base of the tower.
And, even though First Light is 65% sold to date, it is not expected to be completed until Spring 2023, making it a bit of a wait for early purchasers.

Presale Purchase Information and Process
Homes are available for presale purchase with a deposit of 5% of the purchase price. An additional 5% deposit will be due to escrow 18 months after acceptance of the offer. This commits the buyer to the project until completion in 2023.
Buyers who are financing the purchase have the option to select amongst several presale lenders: HSBC, Wells Fargo, US Bank, Caliber Home Loans, East West Bank and Bank of America.
