Property Description

Lee & Associates presents the opportunity to acquire approximately 0.568 acres in South Tacoma with architectural plans for a three-story, 48-unit apartment community. The proposed mix includes 28 studios, 14 one-bedroom units and six two-bedroom units, with an asking land basis of $18,500 per planned unit. The property’s location brings together established neighborhood amenities and regional connectivity. South Tacoma Station provides existing Sounder commuter rail service, while Sound Transit and the City of Tacoma are advancing pedestrian, bicycle and transit-access improvements targeted for completion by 2030. These investments are intended to strengthen connections between the station and surrounding neighborhood destinations. Nearby commercial reinvestment adds to the location story. Tacoma Mall’s outdoor Village redevelopment expands dining, retail and gathering spaces, while the broader Tacoma Mall neighborhood’s Regional Growth Center designation identifies it as a focal point for future housing and employment concentration. Together, existing commuter rail, planned mobility improvements and evolving nearby amenities position the property as an opportunity to deliver new housing within an established South Tacoma community.
