Seattle, WA 98119
We are pleased to present the Emerson Apartments, a 12-unit apartment community built in 1965 in Seattle’s coveted North Queen Anne neighborhood, delivered fully vacant at closing. This rare offering gives investors and owner-occupants the immediate ability to lease all units at current market rents, pursue targeted renovations, or both, with no inherited lease obligations and no displacement concerns. The building offers 6 1BD and 6 2BD with spacious bedrooms, living areas, and select units featuring private decks with canal views. There are 12 surface parking spaces and a dedicated laundry and storage room on each of the 3 floors. Major systems are addressed: new siding and exterior painting in 2002, a roof replacement, electrical upgrades in 2023 and 2024, and interior renovations in 2015 covering new appliances, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and new exterior doors throughout. A new owner can direct capital toward light interior value-add rather than deferred maintenance. Positioned on W Emerson Street, the Emerson Apartments offer seamless access to Interbay, Fremont, Ballard, South Lake Union, and Downtown Seattle, with major employers including Apple, Meta, Anthropic, Google, Amazon, and Expedia all within easy reach. With a well-maintained building and fully vacant delivery, the Emerson Apartments represent an immediate executable opportunity to lease, reposition, and maximize returns from day one.
Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1965, the property has undergone significant updates including a 2015 interior renovation of kitchens and baths (9 years ago) and recent electrical upgrades in 2023-2024. The building is well-maintained, functional, and move-in ready for leasing.
The property is delivered 100% vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for investors to set market-rate rents or execute renovations without the legal complexities of tenant displacement or inherited lease obligations.
Recent major system improvements, including a new roof, electrical upgrades in 2023-2024, and 2015 interior renovations, significantly reduce immediate deferred maintenance risks and capital expenditure requirements.
Situated in North Queen Anne with seamless access to Interbay and South Lake Union, the property is perfectly positioned to attract high-quality tenants employed by nearby tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta.
The property has been active for 86 days and has already undergone a significant price reduction from $3.4M to $3.195e+06, which may indicate initial overpricing or buyer hesitation in the current interest rate environment.
As a 1965 construction, the asset requires ongoing interior value-add investments to remain competitive against the high volume of modern, amenity-rich luxury apartment inventory in the surrounding Seattle submarkets.
