Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle Plans Mixed-Use Development Center
Why this matters
Mixed-use is where the most interesting urban repositioning is happening. Office-to-residential conversions in Manhattan, Washington, and Philadelphia have moved from pro-forma exercises to closed transactions, and walkable suburban densification is drawing patient capital with longer hold periods than the traditional core or value-add fund structures support. Seattle absorption has been weighed down by tech tenant footprint optimization. Multifamily and industrial have been more resilient, with selective bids on best-located product. For allocators, mixed-use offers exposure to multiple property types within a single basis, which has become attractive as monoline sector forecasts have widened.
