Posted on Monday, May 4, 2009 in Business, Downtown, New Development, Real Estate, Tacoma
The Haub Brother’s holdings in Tacoma’s Central Business District just got a bit larger. On April 28th the Haub Brother Enterprise Trust closed on two parcels owned by the United States Postal Service. The two parcels located on A Street between 13th and 14th measure 32,600 square feet and are county assessed at $2,674,900. The purchase price was not yet available.
Haub now owns the properties highlighted in red:
The two parcels are key in Haub’s plan for a large highrise development on the site and possibly a new headquarters for Russell Investsments. The City of Tacoma and Haub recently started environmental cleanup and monitoring of the Haub properties and the former Sauro drycleaner site across the street.
Russell HQ proposal:
It’s a beautiful idea. I hope Russell is willing to be swayed … great scoop!
Who cares if Russell is swayed or not. Let’s build it anyway. We need something new and shiny!
