Staley Point and Bain Capital Real Estate Acquire Industrial Property in Seattle's SODO District for $31.6 Million


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Staley Point Capital ("Staley Point"), a value-add investor focused on infill industrial properties, today announced the acquisition of 2424 8th Ave S. (8th Ave.), a 90,000 square-foot warehouse in the South of Downtown ("SODO") neighborhood of Seattle, WA, for $31.6 million, or $351 per square foot.

SODO is the most proximate industrial pocket to the Port of Seattle, the city's central business district, and the significant population density in the Seattle and Bellevue neighborhoods. The fully leased asset has 42 dock high doors that are ideal for last-mile, high-throughput tenants. 8th Ave. is also within 10 miles of the region's most significant distribution hubs, including SeaTac International Airport, and the BNSF and Union Pacific railway yards.

"8th Ave. is a highly functional asset in a submarket with declining industrial supply and more than 500,000 people within five miles," said Eric Staley, Managing Director of Staley Point. "We secured the transaction by providing speed and certainty to the seller. We appreciate the opportunity to strengthen our presence in the Seattle market."

Seattle has benefitted from the growth of several leading technology companies, including Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google. The city's ports are the fourth largest in the U.S. by volume and have performed well in the first half of 2021. These growth drivers, combined with shrinking industrial supply, have contributed to strong industrial tenant demand in the SODO area.

"Seattle is a high conviction market for our industrial strategy due to its strong growth fundamentals and we are excited to execute on our value-added investment approach to further enhance this high-quality property." said Andrew Terris, a Managing Director at Bain Capital Real Estate. "We look forward to the continued growth of our partnership with Staley Point and thoughtfully expanding our portfolio in the Greater Seattle area over time."

The private purchase was completed via a joint venture between Staley Point Capital and Bain Capital Real Estate. The partnership has been an active acquirer of West Coast infill industrial properties since launching in September 2020. Most recently, Staley Point and Bain Capital Real Estate closed the acquisition of 2187 Garfield Avenue a 132,000-square-foot warehouse at in Commerce, CA, for $38.5 million.

Winston & Strawn, LLP served as legal counsel to Staley Point Capital for the transaction. Newmark represented the seller and JLL Capital Markets will arrange the loan financing.
