Seattle Multifamily for Sale - Pioneer Square/Waterfront
OK Apartments presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic mixed-use building in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. Constructed in 1914 and thoughtfully updated, the property delivers 44 affordable housing units, two retail spaces, and 23 commercial studios with immediate waterfront access and exceptional urban connectivity.
The property sits steps from Seattle’s largest employment corridor, where Virginia Mason, Harborview Medical Center, and Safeco anchor over 336,900 jobs in the immediate area. Seattle University is just one mile away, contributing 1,200 campus jobs with an enrollment of 2,261 students. With 830 students living off campus, the university creates consistent rental demand and boosts local spending.
Seattle’s downtown multifamily market maintains 95.75% occupancy, with asking rates reaching $2,866 per month in Q3 2025—up 5.8% year-over-year. Even with this growth, in-place rents represent just 7.6% of average household income, creating exceptional affordability in the metro's second-most expensive submarket. Additionally, the property participates in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, providing fully affordable housing with rent restrictions at 30%, 50%, and 60% AMI across all units through 2033.
OK Apartment’s unique combination of historic character, walkability, and direct access to major transit stations, parks, and cultural amenities make it an unrivaled investment opportunity in Downtown Seattle’s high-demand, supply-constrained housing market.
