The Building Story
A varied collection of homes near the top of First Hill
1300 University is an eleven-story condominium building on University Street near First Hill’s transition to Capitol Hill. Built in 1980, it contains 55 homes. The street-number name is also the residential address, and it identifies a separate property from nearby Sutton Place on Minor Avenue.
The building’s housing mix is particularly varied. Current records include compact studios and one-bedroom homes as well as larger two-bedroom residences and a penthouse of nearly 2,000 square feet. That range means the building can serve very different space requirements, while individual floor levels and orientations create different outlooks. Buyers considering 1300 University should compare the offered home’s actual plan and position rather than relying on a single building-wide size or bedroom description. The difference between a compact lower-floor residence and a large upper-floor plan is substantial even within this relatively small condominium community.
