Circa West is an adaptive-reuse condominium conversion completed in 2019 within a mid-century, low- to mid-rise concrete-and-brick structure originally erected in 1962. The redevelopment created sixty-four compact, primarily studio and one-bedroom residences organized around a secure owner’s lobby and central courtyard. Interiors emphasize efficient open plans with contemporary finishes—quartz counters, kitchen islands or eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets where space allows, high ceilings, and built-in storage—plus modern systems including wired data and high-speed internet. Each unit includes private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or covered patio; many units offer washer/dryer hookups and deeded parking or storage where noted. The property’s exterior and grounds were reworked to provide low-maintenance landscaping, a courtyard with gas fire pit and grilling stations, a private dog run, and outdoor seating areas. Resident conveniences include secure bike storage, an on-site coinless laundry program, package lockers, and a secured entry with elevator access. Pet-friendly policies and on-site ground-floor retail activate the street edge, while nearby transit, bike trails, and two-block proximity to Sloan’s Lake connect the building to parks, breweries, dining, and light-rail service. HOA structure covers most utilities; the overall character blends preserved vintage elements with contemporary, cost-conscious finishes aimed at attainable urban ownership.
