The Building Story
A University District tower with shared amenities
University Plaza is a 136-residence condominium tower at 4540 8th Avenue NE. The building dates to 1974 and is a prominent part of the University District’s residential inventory.

The amenity collection includes a swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, common gathering spaces and a rooftop deck.
