“This is the
buyer’s first acquisition in the state of Washington. WLA Investments’
portfolio to date comprises similar industrial product, multi-tenant office
buildings and multi-family assets in California, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
Arizona,” comments Vittone.
“The buyer was drawn to this asset because of
the in-place yields, prominent presence on Interstate 5, and the ability to
increase yields over time, as current rents are approximately 40% below peak
levels.
" WLA intends to invest significant capital into the project and launch
an aggressive tenant outreach program in order to lease up the remaining vacant
space.”
