FOR LEASE: Chapter Buildings, A Mixed-Use Development Shaping The Future Of Work In Seattle’s U District

Introducing The Chapter Buildings, a luxury mixed-use development collaboration between Seattle-based real estate firm Urban Renaissance Group and Atlanta-based development firm Portman Holdings. The 400K SF Class-A development is located in the heart of Seattle’s bustling University District, commonly known as the U District.

The two-tower office and life sciences project’s close proximity to the University of Washington allows leading companies to connect with some of Seattle’s top bioscience and technology talent as the area builds its ecosystem as a mixed-use, high-rise vibrant neighborhood. The development is also focused on sustainability and creating greener work environments and walkable areas for better health and connectivity.

ABOUT THE ASSET

The Chapter Buildings are dedicated to providing high-quality office and life sciences spaces to help prepare the next generation of Seattle’s workforce, while creating top-notch amenities that keep the community in mind.

Building One at 4530 12th Ave. features 240K SF of office space and 9K SF of retail space. With expansive views, open areas boasting natural light and multifunctional common areas and workspaces, the building was designed to encourage productivity and collaboration. Building One’s deck houses an exclusive event and gathering space complete with a pickleball court.

Building Two at 4536 Brooklyn Ave. features a 148K SF life sciences facility with purpose-built infrastructure for future lab space and workstations to help attract and retain Seattle’s top life sciences talent.

The development also features a 5.2K SF mid-block pedestrian connector between buildings called The Brooklyn Cut, an open green space that offers convenient access in between Building One and Building Two. Workers and visitors can relax on the rooftop decks of each building with scenic views of the U District, Mount Rainier and the Seattle skyline.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The development is located just three blocks from the University of Washington. Just one block from the U District Light Rail station, tenants can quickly access Downtown Seattle, the Burke Gilman Trail, the University Village, I-5 and Highway 520.

While The U District has traditionally been known as a vibrant college area, it has recently emerged as one of Seattle’s fastest-growing and most exciting neighborhoods, attracting students and a top-tier workforce. International dining, local and high-end shopping opportunities, recreation and entertainment venues abound.

The U District is also known for its vibrant art community and The Chapter Buildings are contributing to that scene via a partnership with NINE dot Arts to curate an art experience featuring hand-painted exterior and interior murals as well as a series of works from local artists.
