Mill Creek sold Skye at Belltown in March of 2025. Skye at Belltown was Mill Creek’s first acquisition in Seattle. Formerly known as Archstone Belltown, this iconic 18-story high-rise offered 371 apartment homes in Seattle’s popular and eclectic Belltown neighborhood. The community offered unbelievable views of the Space Needle (literally next door), Seattle skyline (again, next door!), Elliot Bay and the Olympic Mountains. The crowning feature of this high-rise was the one-acre rooftop garden – the ultimate refuge in a hectic world.

Skye at Belltown was ideally situated near Seattle’s Central Business District and retail core, and was within walking distance to more than 250,000 jobs, including Amazon’s corporate world headquarters in South Lake Union, which was just three blocks from the property. The Walkscore was a whopping 99 – a true walker’s paradise.

The building was comprised of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Mill Creek completed upgrades to the home interiors, enhanced the existing amenities and added to the amenities. Lobby remodeling, an overhaul of the rooftop garden, state-of-the-art clubroom, a membership-grade fitness center and a bike storage and maintenance room were all completed as part of the redesign of the community.

Community amenities included a business center, clubroom with kitchen, social lounge, billiards and game room, Amazon HUB package locker and bike storage. Home amenities included oversized windows, wood-plank style flooring, tile in bathroom, carpeted bedrooms, walk-in closets, excellent sound control, and stunning views of Seattle and the space needle. Select homes included upgraded fixtures, counters, cabinets, and a stainless steel appliance package.
