The property currently has 27 tenants, including the Green River Community College, Kent Women's Fitness Center, and the air conditioning company ACCO. IBM also has an office in the campus.

Of the 103,005 leasable square feet, only two spaces are currently available: 1,600sf and 2,400 sf. Lease rates at the campus for office and retail run $12/sf to $14/sf NNN, and $0.35/sf to $0.65/sf for industrial space.

Leasing agent Michael George of the Seattle office of Colliers International is marketing the property with partner Wyk Parker. George says the industrial market in the Kent area is doing well, "especially for the smaller 'incubator' spaces in the 3,000 sf to 8,000-sf range." As a reason the owner is choosing to sell at this time, the broker says, "It's just a reallocation of assets.
