SKB and Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) acquire the Original Rainier Brewery, a mixed-use property in the revitalized Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ScanlanKemperBard (SKB), in conjunction with current ownership, has announced a joint venture with ReCap Real Estate Investment on behalf of Reinsurance Group of America (RGA), in which they acquired the Original Rainier Brewery, a mixed-use collection of designated landmark structures in Georgetown, a revitalized historic industrial neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.
The Original Rainier Brewery property has a total of 187,466 rentable square-feet and consists of four buildings: the Bottling Plant, Malt House, Brew House/Warehouse and General Office. The property was built in the early 1900s to house the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company, the predecessor to the Rainier Brewing Company.
The historic brick and timber structures, in tandem with convenient local amenities, have attracted over 50 tenants across a multitude of industries, creating a community of thriving creative industrial businesses. Tenants include Fran's Chocolates, Patagonia, KEEN Footwear, REI and Elysian Brewing Company. The properties are currently 92% leased.
SKB has plans to further elevate the stature and improve the bustling property, while maintaining the historic integrity.
According to SKB President Todd Gooding, "This is the fourth acquisition for our Urban Industrial platform. We see an untapped demand for local and regional manufactures. The Original Rainier Brewery asset fits this profile."
SKB's Vice President of Acquisitions, Brian Hughes-Cromwick, said that "We are grateful to the Sabey Corporation for entrusting us to leverage the good work they have already done, both at the property and in the community. We are excited to have the opportunity to build off of that work to take the property to the next level and become a part of the dynamic Georgetown community."
