The property’s strategic location with excellent access to the Port of Seattle, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Tukwila and Union Pacific Port of Seattle intermodals, and the Seattle Central Business District provides superior supply chain connectivity for the tenant. Facility features include a 27,940 SF two-story office building and a 230,000 SF industrial building on-site, 45 loading doors and the ability for a future barge mooring dock, which would further increase the functionality of the property. “The acquisitions are an opportunity for CenterPoint to expand on our investment in port-related and logistically advantaged properties in the Puget Sound market,” said Jim Linn, senior vice president, investments, of CenterPoint Properties. “With continued efforts to grow our presence in the Seattle-port market by over one million square feet each year, acquisitions like these are essential to meeting and surpassing these aggressive goals.”
