s-o-m-a stands for a simple, open, modern attitude; principles that reflect the design of the building, and the character of resident that will appreciate the lifestyle offered in this community and neighborhood. It is a spirit of creativity and culture that is taking root in the district along Main St. with unique options for shopping, the beautiful Downtown Park, and fantastic restaurants.
soma brings several unique design features to downtown, most notably installing the first geo-thermal well system in downtown Bellevue, and being the only residential development in the area to do so. The series of wells that extend from 200 to 300 feet below ground naturally heat the water supply to the apartment homes, resulting in a carbon output savings equivalent to the intake of over 5,300 mature trees annually as compared to conventional electrical energy water heating systems.
soma also features the Endless Forest, a strip of evergreen trees in the center of the project, between walls of mirror glass that infinitely reflect the vegetation and capture as much natural light as possible. Every residence in soma features views of the Endless Forest, so that you may experience it from the comfort of your home.
