About the Building

Canal Station at 5440 Leary Way NW delivered its first phase of 169 homes in 2007 as a six-story mid-rise. Continental Properties describes the broader Canal Station project as multiphase, which is why the community reads larger than a single building.

The setting is south of Market Street along Leary, within walking distance of the Ship Canal and Ballard's restaurant core, and slightly removed from the busiest retail blocks. Reported shared facilities include a fitness center, business and conference center, an outdoor jacuzzi and BBQ area, and a community lounge with kitchen.

Important

No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental

A building can allow an unlimited number of owners to lease their residences while still requiring a 30-day, three-month, six-month, twelve-month, or longer minimum lease. Rental-cap percentage and minimum lease duration are separate rules and should always be reviewed independently.
