Tristar And RFR Come Back For More, Acquire Amazon-Leased Building For Record Price

Dees Stribling/Bisnow

NY-based Tristar Capital and JV partner RFR Holding have bought their second Amazon-leased building in Seattle — the new 12-story, 290k SF Urban Union at 501 Fairview Ave N — for nearly $269M.

The seller, Seattle-based Schnitzer West, developed the building. At $925/SF, it was a record price for an office building in the region, although an office/data center combo, KOMO Plaza, traded for more not long ago, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal.

Only two months ago, the partners ponied up $244M for Phase VII of Amazon's South Lake Union campus, a 313k SF building at 400 Ninth Ave N fully occupied by the retail behemoth and developed by Vulcan in 2015.
