The Building Story
Midcentury condominium living on Minor Avenue
Sutton Place is a ten-story condominium building at 1221 Minor Avenue, dating to 1960. Its midcentury character and First Hill address distinguish it from the neighborhood’s ornate prewar buildings and later residential towers. The outdoor swimming pool and sun deck are particularly recognizable shared features, documented in both current building records and residential listings.
The housing mix is broader than a single standard apartment plan. Recent records include compact one-bedroom residences as well as a substantially larger three-bedroom home, and individual renovations can further change the way the space works. Some homes have long runs of windows, making orientation an important part of the comparison. Buyers considering Sutton Place should evaluate the offered home’s actual plan, light and relationship to the shared outdoor space. It is a separate condominium from 1300 University, despite the buildings sometimes appearing together in neighborhood searches.

Good to know
Before choosing a home here
- Compare the exact layout and window direction, especially when choosing between a compact residence and a larger combined or altered plan.
- Review current pool operating details and the association’s maintenance plans for the outdoor facilities.
- Confirm parking rights for the offered unit rather than assuming all homes include the same arrangement.
