Homestead

EXCLUSIVE MULTIFAMILY OPPORTUNITY

29225 Military Rd S | Federal Way, WA 98003

OPPORTUNITY

Berkadia Seattle is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire Homestead, a 134-unit garden-style multifamily community in Federal Way, Washington.

Federal Way sits within the Seattle-Tacoma MSA along the I-5 corridor, providing direct access to a diversified employer
base without the pricing compression that defines the region’s
core submarkets.

Built in 1987, Homestead is a well-maintained community of one- and two-bedroom homes with the opportunity to reposition the asset to current market finish levels, giving a new owner a clear value-add opportunity in a supply-constrained rental market. Federal Way’s housing production has not kept pace with population growth, and the City’s own Housing Action Plan calls for roughly 6,800 additional units by 2040 — a 68% increase over recent production trends — underscoring the structural imbalance between renter demand and available supply that supports both
in-place occupancy and the runway for renovated rent premiums.

Sound Transit’s 1 Line light rail extension to Federal Way opened to the public in December 2025, connecting the Federal Way Transit Center directly to Sea-Tac Airport and Downtown Seattle by rail for the first time. Proximate to Kent Valley industrial base and the Northwest Seaport Alliance, Homestead is positioned at the intersection of durable blue- and white-collar employment demand and improving transit connectivity.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Value-Add Upside: Homestead presents an exceptional value-add opportunity for investors to enhance take advantage of the blank slate renovation blue print in a severely under supplied market.

Limited Construction Supply: Federal Way has seen only one new market-rate apartment community delivered in the past 30 years, resulting in a persistent, ongoing gap between renter demand and the availability of high-quality market-rate apartment homes.

Transit-Oriented Location: Sound Transit’s Federal Way Link light rail station opened to riders in December 2025, connecting the Federal Way Transit Center, which is approximately 1.5 miles from the property, directly to Sea-Tac Airport, Kent, Des Moines, and Downtown Seattle, giving residents a durable, rail-based commute option to the region’s largest job centers.

Strong Employment Drivers: Strategically located between Seattle, Tacoma, and the Kent Valley, Homestead sits within reach of the major employment centers of the Seattle MSA. Federal Way sits directly adjacent to the Kent Valley, one of the largest industrial and manufacturing corridors on the West Coast, which houses the likes of Blue Origin, Boeing, and Amazon logistics. This deep manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing base anchors a durable, blue and white-collar renter demand pool for the submarket.

VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITY

Homestead offers investors a true blank-slate renovation blueprint as the property has not undergone a comprehensive repositioning, giving a new owner full control over scope, pace, and finish level rather than inheriting a partially completed program. That upside is reinforced by the surrounding supply picture: Federal Way has seen only one new market-rate multifamily community delivered in the past 30 years, leaving renovated, well-located product like Homestead with limited competition for renters seeking upgraded finishes at a discount to new construction. By upgrading flooring, counters, cabinets, and fixtures, new owners can capture premiums of up to $130+ per unit.
