Koda Condominiums

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON KODA is a high-rise community designed by kmd for Seattle’s Nihonmachi (Japantown) neighborhood, the gateway to the historic Chinatown-International District. The project has earned the support of the International Special Review District (ISRD), a panel of community stakeholders that regulate design and development within the Chinatown-International District (CID). This unique oversight is established to preserve the CID’s unique Asian American character and encourage the rehabilitation of areas for housing and pedestrian-oriented businesses.

Residences range from studios to 1 and 2-bedroom units. Building amenities include a full-service concierge and co-working lounge; a seventh-floor wellness center with yoga and fitness studio; a Zen garden and library with conference room; dog run + wash station; and the KODA Club Sky Lounge on the 17th floor with a dining room, exhibition kitchen, fireside viewing lounge, and rooftop terrace offering expansive views of neighborhood landmarks, Seattle skyline, Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. The building offers two guest suites for overnight visitors. There are 75 below grade parking spaces including 20 EV charging stations as well as a dedicated car-share program.
