About the Building
The Florentine is a 116-residence conversion at 526 1st Avenue S in the Pioneer Square historic and stadium district. The original warehouse-era structure dates to roughly 1909 to 1910; current specialist sources commonly treat the condominium conversion era as around 1991.
Large loft-style homes are central to the building's identity, and the location puts residents within walking distance of downtown, the stadiums and the waterfront. This is not an amenity-driven building; parking and view exposure are reported by current condo sources and should be confirmed for the specific residence rather than assumed.

Important
No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental
