Bridge Development Partners is continuing its rapid expansion in the Puget Sound, adding another industrial asset to its portfolio. In a deal that closed on April 5th, Bridge Development purchased the former site of a Seattle Bunge Foods for $21.2 million. The seller was a limited liability company affiliated with William Guimont of Las Vegas, based on information from public documents.
The asset is located at 6901 Fox Ave. S. According to King County parcel data, the property is developed with a 128,800 square foot masonry warehouse. The building was originally constructed in 1977. The entire lot totals 235,990 square feet, or about 5.4 acres.
Situated in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, the property butts up against the Duwamish Waterway and is accessible via State Route 509 and Interstate 5. A number of major warehousing and logistics companies, from Amazon and FedEx, to the Union Pacific Railroad and Costco, are within the vicinity. The asset is also near Boeing offices and King County International Airport: Boeing Field.
Since opening its Seattle office in 2018, Bridge Development Partners has quickly grown its regional portfolio. In December of 2020, Bridge purchased REI’s former headquarters site for $24.6 million. The asset—located in Kent, Wash,–will be transformed into Bridge Point Kent and total 309,028 square feet.
