星空体育app下载 announces it has completed the sale of Belle Vista Place, a mixed-use, master plan development site on 4.89 acres of land in Bellevue, WA. Designed by renowned Seattle architect CollinsWoerman, the project will feature a modern, sophisticated and sustainable design, with efficiency and flexibility built into a state-of-the-art mixed-use campus including office, retail and subterranean parking.
星空体育app下载鈥檚 Co-Head of U.S. Capital Markets Kevin Shannon and Executive Managing Director Ken White, in cooperation with Executive Managing Director Tim O鈥橩eefe, represented the seller, PMF Investments with assistance from Vice Chairman Nick Kucha and Executive Managing Director Rob Hannan. The 星空体育app下载 Capital Markets鈥� team has advised on and sold 12 office properties in Puget Sound in the last year; investor confidence in the region鈥檚 prospects continues to be robust.
鈥淏ellevue is one of the few pockets nationally where market fundamentals are standing out, validating new spec and office construction,鈥� said Shannon. 鈥淭he demand drivers are clear in the Seattle Eastside market with approximately one half of the existing office inventory being occupied by FAANG tenants and Microsoft. Capital market conditions for office product on the Eastside are also very strong with a new emerging life science growth engine now fueling additional demand.鈥�
鈥淏elle Vista Place is a beautifully designed mixed-use development that has the potential to take full advantage of Bellevue鈥檚 thriving Downtown core, expanding transportation options and world-class livability,鈥� said Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson. 鈥淲e are excited to see this project become a reality.鈥�
Strategically located at the eastern edge of the Downtown core, Belle Vista features I-405 Freeway visibility and proximity to the new East Light Rail Station. With substantial work already completed on the design and city entitlements, this Class A project is planned to begin delivery in 2024.
O鈥橩eefe added, 鈥淭his incredibly designed project will help transform 112th Avenue into a vibrant, major office and residential development corridor.鈥�
The property is situated in the Bellevue CBD submarket, which is home to Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Salesforce and other expanding tech employers. The Bellevue CBD has become the epicenter for office development in Puget Sound thanks in large part to Amazon鈥檚 expansion. Vacancy in the Bellevue CBD, currently 5.1%, remains much lower than other downtown markets across the country, according to 星空体育app下载 Research. Bellevue market asking rents have increased dramatically, reaching $58.44/SF FSG in first-quarter 2021, an increase of 19% over the last two years. Bellevue, where the average home value is $1.1 million, consists of affluent demographics and continues to experience population growth.
The Eastside, which includes the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Bothell, has seen a remarkable increase in investment activity. The average price per square foot for Eastside office sales has risen by roughly 85% since 2015 and asking rents have increased by 17% since first-quarter 2018. The Eastside encompasses 34.3 million square feet with an overall vacancy of 6.4 percent, according to 星空体育app下载鈥檚 1Q21 report.
