Single-tenant office building in Redmond trades hands
The Redmond office market remains strong, boasts Class A office vacancy rate of 2.6% according to JLL Capital Markets
SEATTLE – Jan. 6, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of 9805 Willows, an 80,980-square-foot, creative office asset in Redmond, Washington.
JLL worked on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between Graymark Capital and Blue Vista Capital Management, and procured the buyer, Invesco Real Estate.
Redmond, along with the Eastside in general, has remained resilient throughout the pandemic and boasts a Class A office vacancy rate of 2.6% as of the end of third quarter 2020.
“The Redmond market has performed exceptionally well throughout a tough year for most major markets,” said Greer. “The Eastside submarkets are outpacing the Seattle CBD for the first time in history—the Eastside has captured 76% of the region’s total leasing volume YTD, and our clients are taking note.”
9805 Willows was originally built in 1998 and currently undergoing an extensive renovation. The creative office asset features 14’ ceiling heights.
The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Director Logan Greer, Senior Managing Directors Gerry Rohm and Michael Leggett and Associate Kaden Eichmeier.
