1430 Summit Ave
1925
The Dunn Motors Building was built in 1925 with architect J. Lister Homes and builder Western Construction Co. The original owner of the CK Graphics Building, formerly known as Holmes Building, was Henry Elliot Holmes. To Holmes, the development project was an investment; he saw the rise in the use of automobiles and the development of Seattle as an auto distribution center. Holmes wisely chose to build his dealership on a property in the heart of Capitol Hill’s auto row.

Dunn Motors Building
April 22, 2016
The Dunn Motors Building opened in April 2016. The 125,000 SF mixed-use development contains 89 large luxury units, 8,000 SF of class A office space, and 6,000 SF of retail. Current retail tenants include Ethan Stowell’s Tavolàta, an upmarket rustic Italian restaurant. Hunters Capital participated in the Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District’s façade easement program, preserving the historic façade in exchange for an additional floor of height above what zoning dictates. We believe this building sets the gold standard for façade easement and historic building redevelopment.
