Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue (simply the 1521 Second Avenue)[4] is a 134 m (440 ft) residential skyscraper in Seattle, Washington. Designed by Weber Thompson, the 38-story tower contains 143 individual condominium homes.[5] It is located near the historic Pike Place Market.[4] The residential tower broke ground on August 30, 2006.[6] It was opened on November 24, 2008,[4] while its construction was completed in December 2008.[7]

In 2009, the building won the Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC)'s Gold Nugget Awards for the "attached housing project (for sale), high-rise eight stories and over" category.[8][9]

The building has a rooftop lounge and two outdoor chef’s kitchens and fireplaces.[10]
