Ware Malcomb announces construction completed on Bellevue Brewery in Bellevue, WA

 

Cindy Kang

 SEATTLE, WA, Sept. 13, 2022 – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, today announced that construction is complete on Bellevue Brewery, located at 12190 NE District Way Bellevue, Washington 98005, in Bellevue’s Spring District.

Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the project.

“Bellevue Brewery holds a prestigious and historic position as Bellevue’s first craft brewery. We worked closely with their team to renovate the interior design and match the brewery’s reputation,” said Cindy Kang, Director, Interior Architecture & Design for Ware Malcomb. “It’s a destination location that visitors can thoroughly enjoy.”




The 7,353 square foot new interior renovation includes a brewery, restaurant and commercial kitchen.

 

For decades since its inception, the craft beer scene bypassed Bellevue. It wasn’t until the Bellevue Brewing Company served its first batch of beer, on December 12, 2012, that Bellevue had its first locally owned craft brewery.

 

SmartCap Construction was the general contractor for the project.

Levin Johnston completes $11.5 million sale for multifamily portfolio in San Mateo, CA

Apartment community at 1504 S Claremont,
 which features eight-units and is
 located in San Mateo, CA
 

San Mateo, CA – Levin Johnston of Marcus and Millichap, one of the top multifamily brokerage teams in the U.S., specializing in wealth management through commercial real estate investments, has successfully completed the following transactions:

 An 8-unit multifamily community in San Mateo for $2.8 million, a 10-unit multifamily community in Burlingame for $5.6 million, and a second Burlingame community with 5-units for $3.1 million.

Levin Johnston represented both the buyer and the seller in the transactions. 

Robert Johnston
According to Levin Johnston’s Senior Managing Director, Robert Johnston, the three communities are situated in thriving San Mateo County, strategically located equidistant between San Francisco and San Jose, offering proximity to major employers, transportation corridors, shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

“San Mateo’s impressive market fundamentals are largely driven by the region’s strong employers, which are continuously rebounding from the effects of the pandemic and exhibiting impressive signs of job growth recovery,” explains Johnston.

 “In fact, the low unemployment rate in San Mateo County of 2.2% demonstrates the abundance of job opportunities and stable growth of the labor force, making San Mateo County’s local economy one that continues to attract renters and investors to the area.”

Adam Levin

According to Levin Johnston’s Executive Managing Director Adam Levin, the sale and quality of this portfolio speaks to the firm’s increased deal volume of recent months.

 “The Levin Johnston team successfully closed 60 transactions valued at $466 million by end of Q2,” says Levin.

“Our transaction volume during the first half of this year consisted of transactions across a variety of asset types and submarkets, demonstrating our expertise in successfully closing deals that meet the diverse needs of investors, as well as our ability to be nimble and adaptable during unprecedented times, allowing us to consistently bring deals to the finish line.”
