EAST VANCOUVER OFFICE PARK OWNED BY THE STANDARD  SOLD TO BUYER WITH NORTHWEST ROOTS

Norris & Stevens, Inc., is pleased to announce that FKR Properties LLC has purchased Stonemill Business Park from StanCorp Real Estate LLC, dba Stonemill Business Park LLC for $15,250,000. The property is a two-building, 117,332 sq. ft. office park built on 9.08 acres located at 204 and 312 S.E. Stonemill Drive, Vancouver, Washington. The park was built in 1986 and was 89 percent occupied at the time of closing. Major tenants include Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., Pacific Northwest Renal Services LLC, Burns & McDonnell Engineering, State of Washington and Sunsteel.

The Standard has held the asset as an investment for nearly 20 years. “We found the perfect buyer for the exit to our investment strategy” commented Mike Morey, vice president and managing director of The Standard. The buyer sold an office project in Mountain View, California, and sought to reinvest the proceeds in two separate properties in Clark County, Washington, via a 1031 Exchange.

Karl Hansen, managing member of FKR Properties LLC, delighted in the process saying, “We were very impressed with the professional sales assistance offered by the Norris & Stevens Team. They were very timely in offering the comprehensive details needed to analyze and close a transaction like this. More importantly, after assessing multiple options we were even more impressed by their Property Management Team and are delighted to be continuing with their expert services, benefiting all of the valued tenants of the Park!”

As exclusive listing agents, Todd VanDomelen, Vice President, Investment Properties; Timothy S. Mitchell, President; and Timothy Pfeiffer, Senior Broker, Office Properties of Norris & Stevens, Inc., represented the seller in the transaction. Norris & Stevens, Inc., had professionally leased and managed the property for The Standard and is being retained by FKR to continue both activities.
