Based on 6 verified arm's-length comparable sales (through 2026-06-01). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works. About $214K per unit at the midpoint (223 units).

lower confidence: 1 comparable sale within 3 miles; nearest 2.7 mi. Last arm's-length sale: $73,388,500 in 2022. The market has moved since; the estimate reflects current county values and ratios, not that price.

Dark line: county assessed value per King County tax rolls. Blue line: our estimate; dashed years are a modeled backcast built from recorded arm's-length sales in the building's segment, not estimates published at the time, and years without enough sales stay unmodeled. The shaded range is the model's measured error band; about half of verified sales in the segment land inside it. Diamonds: recorded arm's-length sales. Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
