In 2020, the Mabel H. Smith Family, LLC owned this six-story apartment tower. The building had steadily increased in value after 2005-2006, mirroring the rise in Eastlake neighborhood generally. The Coronado Apartments had a value of $2,080,100 in tax year 2000, $2,240,000 in tax year 2005, $3,782,000 in tax year 2010, $5,916,000 in tax year 2015 and $10,105,000 in 2020.

Building Notes

In 2020, the Coronado Apartments had 39 units with an average size per unit of 505 square feet. It had 28,700 gross square feet, 19,700 net, andoccupied a 13,750-square-foot (0.32-acre) lot.

Like many apartments and houses of the era, it had electric heating, taking advantage of the relatively inexpensive hydroelectric power generated by dams in WA and OR.

The building had a swimming pool, and 25 unsecured parking spaces, meaning no garage was ever built to store vehicles. A quarter of the apartments had views of the Lake Union to the west.
