AND EXECUTE REAL PROPERTY LEASE
AGREEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS WITH
BROADACRES LLC, FOR OFFICE
SPACE AND ANCILLARY USES IN THE
WHARF BUILDING LOCATED AT 4209
21st AVE W; AND RATIFYING AND
CONFIRMING CERTAIN PRIOR ACTS.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THIS
BILL PASS.
>> THIS IS FOR SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES.
THEY ARE MOVING A GROUP THAT
FOCUSES ON THE KIND OF
ECOLOGICAL DISASTER THAT NONE
OF US WANT TO SEE HAPPEN AND
THEY HAVE GOT 19 STAFF AND 16
VEHICLES AND ONE BOAT AND THEY
NEED A PLACE TO PUT ALL OF THE
VEHICLES AND THEY ARE PLANNING
TO MOVE OVER ONTO FORCE STREET
WHICH IS OFF OF EMERSON AND
DOWN BY THE FISHERMAN'S WHARF.
THE SPECIFICS ON THIS IS A WILL
BE 7759 SQUARE FEET OF A
WAREHOUSE.
THEY WERE CLOSELY WITH FAS WHO
WENT THROUGH 15 DIFFERENT
SITES.
THEY VISITED THE FORESIGHT AND
DID COST COMPARISONS.
THIS WILL BE A 10 YEAR LEASE
THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ADD ONE
FIVE-YEAR OPTION OR REDUCE IT
TO EIGHT YEARS IF THEY DECIDE
THEY DON'T NEED THAT MUCH SPACE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF THE
LINEAR RESERVOIR THAT WILL BE
CONSTRUCTED IN BALLARD.
THE LANDLORD WILL PROVIDE
$310,000 FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
. NEGOTIATED RENT IS $25,055
PER MONTH.
IT INCREASES ANNUALLY AND THIS
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE AMOUNTS
OF MONEY THAT OTHERS ARE
CHARGING IN OUR AREAS.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BOTH TO
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES CALL
THE FOLKS THAT CAME IN AND
REAPED US AT OUR COMMITTEE AND
ALSO TO FAS FOR THE WORK THEY
HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
