A newly constructed 160-unit affordable housing community in downtown Seattle, called HANA, at the intersection of 6th and Yesler, has been acquired by Security Properties and Pacific Life, according to a release.
“Given the well-documented demand for affordable housing in Seattle, HANA is a being delivered at the perfect time,” said Steve TeSelle, Director of Affordable Housing for Security Properties, in the release.
“HANA will provide high-end units at a significant discount to market rents in the surrounding area,” he said.
This is the third affordable housing joint-venture by Security Properties and Pacific Life.
Affordable housing community in downtown Seattle
HANA is a mixed-use, podium-style community with more than 13,000 square feet of commercial space occupied by Bright Horizons daycare, and 160 apartment units.
Apartments feature floor‐to‐ceiling windows, hard-surface kitchen countertops, and vinyl-plank flooring that is consistent with Class-A market rate product. Residents will also benefit from a 7th floor rooftop deck with community kitchen and unobstructed views of Puget Sound and downtown Seattle. The property is minutes from light-rail as well as a wide variety of restaurants, retail amenities, and the Stadium District.
HANA was delivered in early 2019 and is presently undergoing lease-up.
The property participates in a variety of local affordability programs, including Seattle’s Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) program, which together restrict all units to households earning between 50% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).
This translates to affordable rents for families earning up to $80,000, for a household of 4 people.
HANA is Security Properties’ fourth affordable housing acquisition in Washington state. The company’s Affordable Housing Group maintains a national footprint with an existing portfolio of more than 8,000 units across 58 low-income housing assets. Security Properties also owns more than 13,900 conventional units across 54 properties.
