Cornelius Apartments, a 137-unit property located at 306 Blanchard Street in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood, has sold for $19 million.

Dylan Simon, Jerrid Anderson, Matt Laird, and JD Fuller of the Simon | Anderson Multifamily Team at Kidder Mathews represented the seller. “This transaction underscores the continued investor demand for well-located multifamily assets in Seattle’s urban core,” said Simon. “Looking ahead, properties like Cornelius Apartments highlight the opportunities for investors to participate in both the neighborhood’s resurgence and Seattle’s long-term growth story.”
