SEATTLE — Pembroke Real Estate has acquired the 400 Fairview Building in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle for $338.4 million. The 14-story, Class A office building was constructed in 2015 and is currently 98 percent leased.
Pembroke purchased the property from a joint partnership between TH Real Estate and Swedish development and construction company Skanska, as well as Skanska’s financial partner, TIAA. TH Real Estate acquired a 90 percent stake in the property for $235 million in 2015 from Skanska, which retained a 10 percent ownership.
Current tenants at the LEED Gold-certified building include, Delta Dental; technology manufacturer Impinj; lifestyle company Tommy Bahama; communications company Wireless Advocate and Car Toys, a mobile electronics retailer.
The ground floor of the building features The Hall, a group of 10 restaurants and retailers that is open to the public.
The 349,152-square-foot property sold for approximately $970 per square foot.
“TH Real Estate acquired 400 Fairview as a newly delivered, high-quality office asset in one of our primary markets with leasing upside,” said Andrew Pyle, the head of Northwest transactions for the company. “The asset achieved stabilization faster than anticipated and has performed exceptionally well since acquisition. Skanska is a great JV partner and did a tremendous job developing, leasing and managing 400 Fairview into a first-class asset over our investment horizon.”
