Kevin Shannon, Ken White and Michael Moll of NGKF Capital Markets represented the seller in the transaction. The sale price represented the largest price per square foot ever paid for an office property in the Seattle region.<\/p>\n

\u201cUrban Union is a high-quality, amenitized office asset located within the South Lake Union neighborhood, one of the nation\u2019s top performing urban office submarkets,\u201d Kevin Shannon, NGKF\u2019s president of West Coast capital markets, said in a prepared release. \u201cThis asset offered the buyer a secure credit investment opportunity with income growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 12-story tower also contains 6,000 square feet of retail.<\/p>\n

Located at 501 Fairview Ave. North, the building is LEED Gold certified and includes amenity features such as Schnitzer West\u2019s signature \u201cGreat Room\u201d concept, which includes a two-story sculptural wood wall and an iconic glass blue cube that warms the entry.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the property contains The Lookout, an outdoor deck and rooftop lounge area offering views of downtown Seattle and the Space Needle; a bike storage center; and 6,573 square feet of ground floor retail space.<\/p>\n

The office building is located within the heart of Seattle\u2019s South Lake Urban submarket and is close to Amazon\u2019s 6 million-square-foot headquarters. It is also within one block of Google\u2019s 600,000-square-foot campus development project.<\/p>\n

According to Colliers\u2019 latest Puget Sound Market Report, the Seattle\/Puget Sound office market ended 2016 with a vacancy rate at 8.6 percent following 4.4 million square feet of deliveries since January 2016.<\/p>\n
