Rare 8-Acre Development Site Along I-5 in Fife Sells for $12.5 Million

Posted In — News & Press | Press Releases

Utility Trailer Sales of Washington purchased an 8.13-acre industrial site at 4707 20th Street East, directly along I-5 in Fife. Kidder Mathews Senior Vice President Matt Murray exclusively represented Utility Trailer (MK Holdings, LLC) in the $12.5 million sale, which closed this week.

“This is one of the few development sites of its size along the I-5 Corridor between the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma,” said Murray. “It will be a great location for Utility Trailer Sales of Washington’s business, with visibility on a major highway and enough size to accommodate their growing company.”

The property will be developed into a state-of-the-art low coverage facility over the next few years while Utility Trailer is leasing back its facility in Auburn. In December 2021, Kidder Mathews assisted the company in acquiring the Fife property to grow its business while conducting a sale/leaseback of its Auburn location at 904 West Main. Murray and Executive Vice President Matt McLennan represented Utility Trailer in the transaction, which closed at record land pricing for the submarket — $71.18 per square foot and a record low cap rate of 3.65%. New York City-based private equity firm Fortress Investment Group purchased the 9-acre property for $22 million.
