Real Estate Everett and Seattle Real Estate are forces within the northwest Puget Sound region. In Real Estate Everett, you will find one of the best economies, the most job openings and now a stabliizing real estate Everett market. Yes values have gone down, and sure they may continue to decrease over the next year or so. However, builders, developers and realtors are starting to look at investment opportunities in the area much more so than a year or two ago. Real estate Everett may just be back on track to small sustained growth within the next couple of years. Goodman Real Estate of Seattle has bought a six-story office/lab building on the downtown Seattle waterfront. Goodman paid Watumull Enterprises of Honolulu $6.85 million for the building, on University Street between Western Avenue and the Alaskan Way Viaduct, according to county records. It was built in 1918 as a warehouse, and, while not designated a historic landmark, was deemed worthy of such protection by the city's Department of Neighborhoods in a 2007 survey. The building was Immunex's headquarters before the biotech was acquired by Amgen in 2002.
oodman Real Estate has submitted preliminary plans for a 15-story apartment building in downtown Seattle less than two blocks from Washington State Ferries' Colman Dock.
It's one of the first new development proposals to surface in the downtown core since the real-estate market collapsed two years ago. For Goodman, it represents a change from earlier plans to build a 12-story office building on the site, now a parking lot bounded by Western and Post avenues and Columbia and Marion streets.
The newly proposed apartment building, the Colman Tower, would have about 200 units on the sixth through 15th floors aimed at "young urban professionals," according to plans filed with the city's Department of Planning and Development. Parking and street-level retail would occupy the lower levels.
Goodman representatives did not return calls seeking more information. The city's Downtown Design Review Board is to consider the project Aug. 24.
Goodman's switch from office to apartments makes sense, said land-use economist Matthew Gardner.
While downtown office vacancies remain high, the high-end urban apartment market appears to be stabilizing, Gardner said, and it's much easier to get financing for apartment projects than other construction.
What's more, he added, Colman Tower probably won't be ready for tenants until at least late 2012 or early 2013, when the market may be healthier. "Goodman's timing is good," Gardner said.
Several new, large apartment projects have broken ground in Seattle in recent months despite the recession. Among them: Harbor Properties' Link Apartments in West Seattle, and Avalon Bay Communities' Avalon Queen Anne project in Lower Queen Anne.
At least one other downtown development proposal, Urban Visions' 35-story tower at Second Avenue and Pike Street, has been redesigned as an apartment project, in part to increase the likelihood of obtaining financing. Urban Visions' original plan was for a luxury hotel and condos.
The Alaskan Way Viaduct separates Goodman's Colman Tower property from the waterfront. If that aging roadway is demolished, Goodman could be sitting on a gold mine, Gardner said:
"Will (demolition of the Viaduct) increase property values exponentially? Absolutely."
The city's conceptional plans call for a waterfront boulevard and new public spaces once the viaduct is torn down. But, according to the state Department of Transportation's most recent plan, demolition won't occur until at least 2016, after a tunnel is built to replace the elevated highway. And the tunnel, which still faces political obstacles, is no sure thing. Seattle-based Goodman Real Estate was founded by John Goodman in 1990. Its assets include more than 34,000 apartments and 2.5 million square feet of office and retail space, according to the firm's website.
Within Real Estate Everett, the lenders and financial institutions may pull the applicants credit while applying online if the applicant provides the credit conditions by giving the social security number. If he does not provide with the SSN number then his credit condition will not be revealed at the time of application, but can always be verified during the procedure before he gets the home loan modification. Thus Andy or anyone else who is facing the similar problem should try to increase his credit rating and then apply but this time with some other broker and loan modification company. While applying for federal loan modification program the applicant should fill in with all the true facts in the mortgage loan modification form, because if upon verification it is found that the details provided are not correct then the application is rejected. Let's say for example if the income indicated does not match with the with income proof given, then problem may arise and lead to rejection. However most people choosing to do a loan modification are in debt, many have lost their jobs or are making less income than when they initially got the loan, therefore their credit is hindered and at times their credit is ruined.
