SEATTLE, May 13, 2024 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $26.25 million sale of a 139,223-square-foot land parcel in Kirkland, Washington.  

JLL represented the buyer, Mill Creek Residential, in completing the off-market sale from the seller, Totem Bowl and Investments, Inc.

The property is currently improved with the TechCity Bowl building that will be demolished to develop a fully approved, 369-unit, mid-rise multi-housing community. Of the 369 units, 36 will be affordable. In addition to the multi-housing units, the property will offer 6,700 square feet of retail space and 425 parking stalls.

The development site occupies a corner lot at 13005 and 13003 NE 70th Place in Kirkland, about 13 miles east of downtown Seattle. The immediate area is mainly comprised of residential communities and the site is immediately adjacent to a retail center offering in-line retail and four pad sites. Additionally, the development site has easy access to nearby freeways, including Interstate 405 just one mile west.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the buyer was led by Senior Director Jordan Louie and included Senior Managing Directors Corey Marx and David Young, Senior Director Chris Ross and Directors Michael Lyford and Reed Curtis.

"The sale of the TechCity Bowl site is further evidence of the improved developer sentiment in the Greater Seattle market, specifically the Eastside," said Louie.
