Tucked just one block north of Bellevue Square, Mari Bellevue offers a boutique alternative to the larger condos dominating the downtown core. Completed in 2024 by Create World Real Estate and designed by MZA Architecture with interiors by B+H, this 20-story residential tower houses 138 homes.

Mari was intentionally designed as an intimate, boutique condo. It also holds a major claim to fame: it is the only high-rise condo building in Downtown Bellevue with rooftop/top-floor amenities. If you love Downtown Bellevue's dining and retail energy but prefer a quieter street and a building where you actually know your neighbors, Mari hits a very sweet spot.

Our Take

The Good:

• Only High-Rise Rooftop Amenity in Bellevue: This is Mari's big advantage. While competitors like One88, Avenue Bellevue, Bellevue Towers, and Washington Square keep their common outdoor terraces and club rooms on lower podium levels, Mari gave its top floor (Level 20) to everyone. Even if you buy an entry-level home on the 4th floor, you get penthouse-level lake and sunset vistas every evening.

• Boutique Scale: With only 138 units, Mari avoids the massive elevator crowds of larger mixed-use developments. It feels quiet, residential, and manageable.

• Volume & Ceiling Heights: The 9'8" to 12-foot ceilings give even the smaller 1-bedroom layouts a much more airy, open feeling than standard 8.5-foot condo ceilings.

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Long-Term Western Views (The Pinnacle Project): Like neighboring Avenue Bellevue, west-facing units at Mari look toward the QFC and Bartell Drugs center. Pinnacle International has long-term plans to redevelop that multi-block parcel with multiple high-rise towers, which will eventually reshape western sunset views.

• No 24/7 Concierge: Lobby staffing runs from 7 AM to 11 PM, not 24 hours. If you need around-the-clock physical front-desk staffing, keep that schedule in mind.

What Makes Mari Bellevue a Great Place to Come Home to?

This property has it all - thoughtful design, quality materials, and a location plugged into everything downtown offers. The catch is, there are only 138 homes available, and we believe over 60% of those have been sold already. It’s easy to see why Mari Bellevue is filling up fast!

The development feels quiet and intimate - way more personal than a lot of other towers in downtown. The units inside have super tall ceilings, often 10 feet or more. This, along with oversized windows, mean you have roomy interiors with tons of natural light.

Kitchens come with sleek cabinetry, polished surfaces, and layouts that feel good to cook or entertain in. Most homes have balconies or walk-in closets, and the penthouse-level residences take things even further with expanded floor plans.

But the real beauty of this property is up top. SkyClub and SkyDeck give residents indoor and outdoor spaces to unwind, host friends, or take in the city from above. The fitness room, yoga space, concierge desk, and pet amenities downstairs make day-to-day life easier.

There’s so much to love about this building, and you need to act fast if you want to get a unit tailored to your preferences. We can help you tour the different floor plans and submit a winning offer. Get in touch with Urban Living today!
