Morgan Stanley Affiliate Buys Seattle Industrial Property

A fully leased industrial property in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood has traded for $36.5 million.

Portland-based ScanlanKemperBard (SKB), a real estate investor, operator and developer, is the seller of the 63,318-square-foot building at 2501 W. Commodore Way. The buyer is an entity affiliated with global investment firm Morgan Stanley, reported the Puget Sound Business Journal.

SKB acquired the site, located near the Ballard Locks, in 2020 as part of a package that included an adjacent 3-acre parcel. The sales price for the entire 6-acre portfolio was $24 million at the time. SKB also has industrial assets in the Phoenix market. The assessed value is $23.4 million, or 36% below the sales price. A $15.8 million tenant improvement project was completed at the site in 2024 for a 17,864-square-foot space for King County Waste. Venture Construction was the general contractor.
