AUBURN, WA – January 7, 2026 – Sagard Real Estate, a leading real estate investment advisor, today announced the acquisition of an industrial distribution facility in Auburn, Washington, further expanding the firm’s U.S. industrial footprint within the Pacific Northwest.
Leased to a national third-party logistics provider, the 162,400-square-foot industrial asset is situated on approximately 8.8 acres within the Auburn submarket, one of the largest and historically best-performing industrial markets in the Seattle MSA. The property benefits from strong functional attributes, including 24-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinklers, multiple points of ingress and egress, and significant excess trailer yard and parking capacity. Its infill location provides convenient access to SR-167 and broader regional connectivity to Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
“This acquisition demonstrates our strategy of targeting well-located, functional industrial assets at an attractive basis in supply-constrained markets,” said Tom Stover, Managing Director of Acquisitions at Sagard Real Estate. “The property’s strong fundamentals, combined with embedded mark-to-market potential and a desirable infill location, position it well for performance over the medium and long term.”
Built in 1987, the property is designed to support high-volume distribution and logistics users and offers flexibility for future operational enhancements. Sagard Real Estate plans to execute select capital improvements, with the objective of enhancing long-term value.
The transaction builds upon Sagard Real Estate’s growing footprint in the Pacific Northwest after recent acquisitions in Lake Stevens, WA and Lake Oswego, OR.
