1000 and 1100 Dexter Avenue
Seattle, Washington
Deal Value: $47.5 million
Partners: Palisade Group
Palisade Group and Sabal Investment Holdings acquired 1000 and 1100 Dexter Ave for $47.5 Million. The property is a two-building, Class A office asset totaling 223,233 square feet in Seattle’s South Lake Union submarket, one of the city’s premier urban live-work-play neighborhoods and a top-performing office and life sciences submarket. The distressed pricing, which is considerably below replacement cost and recent sales transactions in the market, was facilitated by an assumable, low-interest rate loan that was restructured as part of the transaction. While best known for its technology and life sciences concentration, the South Lake Union submarket is positioned to benefit from tenant migration coming from the central business district due to stronger foot traffic and proximity to a vibrant residential neighborhood. The submarket has been one of the most active areas in the region for office investment sales over the last two years, boasting a Class A office direct vacancy rate of 7.2%.
