Case Study: The Glacier Peak Lofts
From Industrial Legacy to Modern Living
Columbia Glacier Finance identified an underutilized warehouse in the vibrant Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, a prime location poised for revitalization. Recognizing the growing demand for urban living spaces, our Private Real Estate Fund strategically acquired the property.
Our dedicated team managed the complex conversion process, transforming the aging industrial structure into 50 spacious, loft-style apartment units. This comprehensive project involved overseeing architectural design, securing permits, construction management, and tenanting.
The Glacier Peak Lofts project was completed on time and within budget, delivering a significant return. It is currently generating a 7% cash-on-cash return for our investors, coupled with substantial appreciation in property value, proving our capability to execute complex value-add strategies.
