ProAmpac The recent acquisition allowed ProAmpac to assign its purchase option to EverWest.

AUBURN, WA—Within the supply-constrained Auburn market, just south of metro Seattle, the current industrial market vacancy rate sits at just 2%, with a limited development pipeline. This compares to a 3.1% industrial vacancy rate in metro Seattle and a 5% industrial vacancy rate in the greater US, according to EverWest Real Estate Investors.

This low vacancy, coupled with historically low availability, resulted in the purchase of a three-building industrial portfolio. With this purchase, EverWest Real Estate Investors, in partnership with a Colorado-based investment fund, has increased its presence in the Pacific Northwest to almost one-half million square feet of industrial space.
