American Realty Advisors Acquires 2201 Westlake Office Building in Seattle’s South Lake Union Neighborhood



SEATTLE, WA – American Realty Advisors and Vulcan Real Estate announced Vulcan’s sale of 2201 Westlake Avenue, a fully-leased best-of-class office/retail property in the heart of South Lake Union, to American.

 The building is currently leased to high-profile office and retail tenants, including Amazon and global health innovator, PATH. 

Located at the corner of Westlake Avenue and Denny Way, 2201 Westlake is a 12-story 317,000 square-foot LEED Gold certified high-rise building developed by Vulcan in 2009.

“Opportunities to acquire a newly-constructed building with high-quality tenants at a ‘Main and Main’ location are rare,” said Drew Hess, Senior Director, Investment Group for American.

“This purchase secures a fully-leased Class A asset at an ideal location and still offers strong rental growth opportunities beyond an attractive risk-adjusted return.”

“Overall, this type of property checks off all of the boxes: great urban location, great tenants, and new high-quality construction and amenities,” said Hess.

“We were very pleased by the broad interest we received from institutional investors,” said Ada M. Healey, Vice President of Real Estate for Vulcan Inc.

 “The pricing reflects both the exceptional quality of the asset and the highly-desirable characteristics of the Seattle office market.” 
  
In the last decade, more than $6 billion in public infrastructure and private development has been invested into the South Lake Union neighborhood, driving significant growth for Seattle. 

As a result, the area has become one of the West Coast’s top-tier locations for leading firms in global health and technology.

CBRE handled the transaction with a team led by Kevin Shannon and supported by the local CBRE office.
