Executive Highlights

Future Redevelopment Potential
Owner Operated for the
Past 27 Years
6700 Roosevelt is a rare opportunity to acquire a well maintained multifamily property with minimal deferred maintenance. Ownership have intentionally kept rents well below market, not raising rents more than 2-3% per year, and often not at all, under their stewardship for the past 27 years. They do not advertise digitally, and until recently did not offer online payment options.
Significant Mark-to-Market
Rent Upside
The property is currently 17% vacant with
in-place rents trailing market comps by 15-25% in similar unrenovated condition. Providing a compelling opportunity to increase revenue without any additional expense.
Potentially High
Value-Add Opportunity
Based on comparable Unrenovated units in the area, there is $300,000—Annual loss-to-lease embedded in current rents. Furthermore, renovated properties units in the area achieve on average $550/month premium over the in-place rents at 6700 Roosevelt.
Transit Oriented
Location
6700 Roosevelt is located directly across the street from Sound Transit’sRoosevelt light rail station. The station offers direct rail access to key employment centers at the University of Washington, Downtown Seattle, SeaTac Airport, and now the Eastside.
Programmatic Renovation
Unlocks Further Upside
In-place rents average $1,569 per unit ($2.36/SF), compared to $2,218 per unit ($3.34/SF) at renovated comparable properties. This $649 per unit rental premium translates to approximately $685,000 of incremental annual revenue across the 88-unit asset. Assuming a renovation cost of $20,000 per unit, the business plan supports an estimated 39% return on cost.
