The Pacific Northwest has seen an upswing in activity in its multifamily market during the first quarter of 2014, with residential deals and projects taking the center stage in a market that was very focused on its office sector. This past week has seen TruAmerica Multifamily acquire a West Seattle residential complex, part of a partnership with Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation. The buyer paid a fee of $27 million for the Westhaven Apartments. The move is part of the investor’s strategy of amassing a $1 billion real estate investment portfolio by the following year.
