JUST IN: A prime office tower in downtown Seattle just sold at a MASSIVE 84% 'discount' from its 2019 price
The 541k sq ft building sold for $48M - a measly $89 per sq ft
It last sold for $305M in 2019 - wiping out $256M in value
Here's the crazy part:
This isn't a building in some obscure location - it's a 41 story tower in the HEART of DT Seattle and underwent ~$20M in improvements in the last several years
While the building was 100% leased when sold in 2019, 50%+ of the building was vacant in 2026
