Unico Boosts Seattle Waterfront Footprint to 1M SF with Colman Building Buy

Unico Properties LLC, a subsidiary of Unico Investment Group LLC, purchased the Colman Building in Seattle’s iconic Waterfront from Goodman Real Estate for reportedly nearly $37 million. The acquisition pushed Unico’s Waterfront footprint to more than one million square feet.

Unico’s Andrew Cox says, “This was a great opportunity to acquire a classic Seattle asset known for its history and location that sits in the intersection of three transforming neighborhoods—the South CBD, Waterfront, and Pioneer Square.”

The Colman Building consists of a six-story, 160,164-square-foot historic office building, with ground-level retail encircling the entire property. Commissioned by Scottish immigrant and master machinist James Colman, it was constructed in several stages between 1889 and 1906 on a single parcel bounded by First Avenue, Marion Street, and Columbia Street. The property is 88% leased to a diverse roster of office tenants.

NKF’s Nick Kucha, Kevin Shannon, Cavan O’Keefe, Michael Moll, Bill DeLacy, Jakob Nicholls, and Jeff Hodson represented the sellers.
