Fully Leased Seattle Highrise Offers
Near Term Accretion With Releasing Upside
Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE: KRC) today announced
that it completed the acquisition of West 8th, a 28-story, LEED
Platinum, 539,000 square foot office building in Seattle. The
premier office project is located in the vibrant and highly
amenitized Denny Regrade submarket. Anchored by Amazon, Inc., West
8th will bring immediate strategic benefits, including enhancement
to the company’s already strong tenant credit profile, the
potential to increase below-market rents on a near term expiration
and the expansion of the company’s best-in-class office portfolio
that meets the needs of the modern tenant.
West 8th, built in 2009, is located directly across the street
from Amazon’s nearly five million square foot newly constructed
headquarters campus. The project includes unmatched transit access
and proximity to numerous retail amenities and features a walk
score of 100 and a transit score of 100. The building is fully
leased and anchored by Amazon, which leases approximately 70% of
the space through April 2023 at rents significantly below
market.
The $490 million acquisition will increase the company’s Greater
Seattle portfolio to just under three million square feet,
including the recently completed and fully leased 333 Dexter
project. Additionally, West 8th is just two blocks from the
company’s SIXO development site, which is planned for a two-phased
office development totaling approximately one million square feet,
alongside a separate parcel which can accommodate up to 600
multifamily rental units. The West 8th project further expands the
company’s presence in one of the premier technology office markets
in the country.
“We believe the Denny Regrade submarket continues to be
extremely well positioned for strong rental growth over the coming
years and West 8th, which offers an unrivaled location, will help
deliver solid earnings growth and value creation for our
shareholders,” said John Kilroy, the company’s chairman and chief
executive officer.
