CushWake Advises Sale of Vintage Mixed-Use in Ballard

Cushman & Wakefield has brokered the sale of Villa Luisa, a vintage mixed-use apartment and retail community situated in the heart of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Villa Luisa is a freestanding two-story building located at the corner of NW 60th St and 15th Ave NW and comprises 16 apartment units and four ground-floor retail spaces.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Tim McKay, Dan Chhan, Matt Kemper, Jacob Odegard, Dylan Roeter, and Byron Rosen represented the seller in the transaction. The buyer was unrepresented.

“While the sale of vintage assets within core Seattle have slowed considerably, savvy investors are seeking well-located, cash flowing assets with high upside potential,” said McKay. “Today you can purchase these value-add assets with less competition and higher cap rates than we’ve seen in over a decade.”

Originally built in 1927, Villa Luisa offers a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment units together with four longstanding retail tenants with storefronts, including Nolita Italian bistro, The Wax Bar, a mini-mart, and an art studio.
