Seattle, Wash. (October 10, 2018) – A 53,355 square foot building, located at 1518 Fifth Avenue in Seattle’s retail central business district, has sold for $19,000,000. Kidder Mathews commercial real estate brokers, Dave Speers, Jason Rosauer, and Rob Anderson, represented the seller, 1518 Fifth Avenue, LLC, in the transaction.
