SEATTLE, WA., August 21, 2019 – Cushman & Wakefield announced today the firm has been appointed the sales assignment of 400-Unit ‘Broadstone First Hill’ in downtown Seattle. Broadstone First Hill consists of two properties across the street from one another, Broadstone Saxton, located at 520 Terry Ave and Broadstone Lexington, at 1050 James St, Seattle, WA 98104.
Situated in Downtown Seattle’s prestigious First Hill neighborhood, Broadstone First Hill provides an authentic and curated living experience and is comprised of 400 luxurious apartment homes and 7,604 square feet of prime ground floor retail.
