RENTON, WASH. — Paul Sleeth of Colliers International brokered the two-part sale of North Benson Center, which is located in Renton, for a total consideration of approximately $49.7 million. The seller, Petro Benson LLC, contracted to sell the entire property to Trimark Property Group LLC; however, Cincinnatti-based bargain department store Fred Meyer exercised its first right of refusal. The store, which is owned by Kroger Co., was interested in owning the building and land that it occupies at the center – approximately 200,00 square feet. After contracting to acquire the entire center, Fred Meyer contracted to sell a 76,998-square-foot portion to Trimark for $17 million. The two transactions were simultaneously closed.
