BLP Strengthens Presence in Seattle Market with Acquisition of 782,775-Square-Foot Class A Distribution Facility Fully Leased to Harbor Freight Tools

Key Terms

cross-dock configuration technical

A cross-dock configuration is a warehouse layout and process where inbound shipments are unloaded and immediately sorted onto outbound trucks or conveyor lines, minimizing or eliminating long-term storage. Think of it like a relay station where goods move quickly from one vehicle to another rather than being shelved. For investors, this affects a company’s inventory carrying costs, delivery speed, and working capital needs because faster flow can reduce storage expenses and improve turnover.

dock-high doors technical

Dock-high doors are large, ground-level openings on a warehouse or distribution center designed so tractor-trailers can back up and align their cargo beds with the building floor for direct loading and unloading, like a matching doorway between a truck and a building. For investors, they matter because they speed handling, reduce labor and equipment needs, improve safety and throughput, and therefore influence a property’s operational efficiency, tenant appeal and long-term value.

esfr sprinklers technical

ESFR sprinklers are a type of automatic fire sprinkler designed to detect and suppress fast-growing warehouse or industrial fires very quickly, acting like a built-in, high-speed firefighting system that sprays large volumes of water at the first sign of flames. For investors, presence of ESFR systems reduces the risk of catastrophic property loss, can lower insurance costs, and supports uninterrupted operations and regulatory compliance—factors that protect asset value and cash flow.

Pacific Northwest acquisition marks BLP's expansion into the Seattle-Tacoma industrial market, adding a newly built, trophy-quality logistics asset with long-term credit tenancy

BLP's newly acquired trophy industrial facility in Frederickson, Washington, with Mount Rainier rising behind the 782,775-SF Class A distribution center.

Completed in 2024 and fully leased to Harbor Freight Tools on a long-term basis, the facility serves as a regional distribution center supporting its network of more than 1,600 stores nationwide.

Situated on 53.3 acres approximately 17 miles from the Port of Tacoma, the largest container port in the Seattle metro area, the property offers exceptional regional connectivity to the ports, major population centers, and critical transportation infrastructure throughout the Pacific Northwest. The planned SR 167 extension to the Port of Tacoma, expected to be completed by 2030, will further enhance connectivity and reduce drive times to the port.

The facility offers best-in-class, institutional-quality specifications, including:

• 40-foot clear height
• Cross-dock configuration with 152 dock-high doors and 4 grade-level doors
• Full concrete oversized truck courts
• 476 trailer stalls and 262 auto parking spaces
• 4,000 amps of power with expansion capability
• ESFR sprinklers and separate truck and auto entrances

"This acquisition reflects our conviction in premier logistics markets with durable long-term fundamentals and meaningful barriers to large-format development," said Paul Jones, Managing Director of BLP. "Frederickson has emerged as one of the Pacific Northwest's most prominent industrial hubs, and this facility stands alone in the market for its quality and scale. It is an ideal foundation for our long-term growth in the region."

Frederickson serves as a key extension of the Kent Valley and continues to attract large corporate users including Boeing, Amazon, IKEA, Whirlpool, GE, Ashley Furniture, and Floor & Décor, alongside deep institutional ownership. The market's supply pipeline has contracted sharply, with under-construction inventory down more than 60% year-over-year, positioning well-located, large-format Class A assets to benefit as demand strengthens.

The property was developed by Panattoni and delivered in 2024 as part of the larger Fred310 industrial development in Frederickson.

Jeff Chiate and Bryce Aberg of Cushman Wakefield facilitated this acquisition.
