Featuring Thea's Landing 

Life at Thea's Landing on Dock Street

 

I can remember the first time I visited Thea's Landing. I was 13 years old, visiting one of my BFFs, Karli. Her dad recently moved into one of the units, and I was lucky enough to join her for a sleepover. Upon arrival, I felt enamored by the experience as we were buzzed in through the front secured entrance, where I met Karli and her dad in the lobby for the obligatory parent pass-off. Our night consisted of exploring the five-story building in our sock feet, then slipping outside just after dark to take in the sights of the waterway and Tacoma Glass Museum.

 

This condo experience wasn't my last, actually far from it! Twenty years later, with a career in Real Estate, I've visited many downtown Tacoma condos. And I can confidently tell you that Thea's Landing is one of those buildings that stands out from the rest. It's an experience and lifestyle that is more than embraced by the residents. There is something special about the modern architecture, community culture, and coveted amenities.


What's not to love about the location? Perched along Dock Street in downtown Tacoma sits the sleek and modern Thea's, one of two condo buildings on the waterfront. What initially drew me, and many others, to this building is the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Commencement Bay, with glimpses of the Thea Foss Waterway and Tacoma's maritime history. Don't overlook the city views---especially at dusk. The soft twinkle of downtown Tacoma paints a worthy scene sure to wow. 

 

Living downtown puts you in the heart of Tacoma's action, thanks to the iconic Chihuly Bridge that is accessible minutes from your front door. What a treat to cross over and end up on Pacific Avenue with options to many restaurants, shops, museums, and theaters. It's easy to stay active and healthy here with the pedestrian-friendly streets, parks, and scenic waterfront paths steps from the building. The condo amenities provide plenty to do without leaving home. A 24/7 gym, rooftop deck with community barbecue grills and fire pits, club room with big screen TVs- it's got it all. 

 

Owner's use of the condos varies from part-time snowbirds to professionals who purchase their condo as a crash pad. The building security offers peace of mind for lock-and-go living. Of course, a fair number of residents living here full-time love the urban lifestyle or have minimized and downsized to condo life from their single family. One thing that you will hear in common from all is that they love life at Thea's.

 

We currently have a condo at Thea's for sale, unit 549. It's a beautiful loft-style penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows. Click here for a link to the listing and all the details. For a private tour, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I've included the details below.
