SEATTLE, Wash. and PORTLAND, Maine (December 8, 2017) ― Atlantic National Trust, a Portland, Maine-based private equity firm, expanded its Seattle area portfolio with the purchase of 3201 Fairview Avenue on Lake Union.

The property is situated on 36,000 square feet of fee-owned uplands and tidelands on the northwestern part of Lake Union, across from Seattle’s world-renowned Gas Works Park. The current tenant is Lake Union Sea Ray.
Atlantic National Trust has owned various properties in the Seattle area and has a portfolio that exceeds $100 million nationwide. The firm purchased the Lake Union location as a long-term investment from Boatyard, LLC. Trevor Kovich of the Neil Walter Company was the seller’s agent.
