SEATTLE, WA – Global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson has partnered with Kenedix, Inc. and Hulic Co., Ltd. to buy The Danforth in Seattle for $173 million. The 265-unit multifamily community with Whole Foods as the sole ground-floor tenant builds on Kennedy Wilson s significant multifamily presence in the Pacific Northwest that totals more than 13,000 market rate and affordable apartment units.
Given our 30-year history in Japan, we are proud to continue the growth of our investment management platform alongside these two prestigious companies that are aligned with our investment strategy and our focus on delivering quality housing within growing Pacific Northwest markets, said William McMorrow, Chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson. The Danforth provides an opportunity to buy a recently built community at a discount to replacement cost within an area experiencing limited new construction and strong absorption due to recent return-to-office initiatives from leading technology employers.
We appreciate the opportunity to participate in this joint investment. With continued population growth and the potential for attractive returns, we are strengthening our initiatives in the U.S. real estate market, said Hikaru Teramoto, Representative Director, President & COO at Kenedix, Inc.
We are pleased to have our first JV investment with Kennedy Wilson and Kenedix. We are currently increasing international investment with partners in areas where continued population and economic growth are expected. We believe this investment satisfies our criteria, said Sohei Okuno, General Manager, Global Investment Department at Hulic Co., Ltd.
The Danforth, a 16-tale tower constructed in 2018, features 1- , 2-, and 3-bedroom layouts and access to Seattle s newest Whole Foods Market on the ground floor. The community offers expansive amenities including a Studio Fit fitness center, rooftop solarium and dog run, a resident lounge with shuffleboard and media center, a full demonstration kitchen, and a BBQ patio with multiple grills.
Located at the intersection of Seattle s First Hill and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, The Danforth is adjacent to the city s best restaurants, nightlife, and largest employers. It is also positioned within Seattle s largest hospital network, with a $1.3 billion expansion project set for completion by 2027 that will support a highly educated and well-compensated resident base.
Kennedy Wilson has a 10% interest, investing $6.6 million of equity in the core plus joint venture, and will serve as asset manager for the partnership and will earn customary fees.
