redIQ Deal Highlight: Blackstone Acquires Ascent South Lake Union and Marlowe

redIQ would like to congratulate the team at Blackstone for finalizing the acquisition of Ascent South Lake Union and Marlowe in Seattle, WA for $303 million. The two Seattle apartment communities were purchased from Greystar. Both assets began development in 2016 by Greystar in a project financed by Bank OZK.  

The Seattle area has an intense demand for housing, as a technology hub with the headquarters of Amazon and Microsoft. This demand has put Seattle in the top 10% nationally for real estate appreciation. Other recent transactions in the area include Skyglass Tower and Main Street Flats.
