Indigo Apartments 8726-8736 S Hosmer St 91 Unit Apartment Building $9,800,000 ($107,692/Unit) 7.07% Cap Rate Tacoma, WA 98444

MARKETING DESCRIPTION:
Indigo Apartments is a true turnkey investment opportunity in one of the most sought-after rental markets in the Seattle area. The property underwent a complete renovation in 2024, converting the original 1983-built structure into a brand-new multifamily community with 91 units. After meticulous renovations, the property offers high-quality finishes and a compelling value proposition for new ownership.
Post-renovation, all units feature vinyl plank flooring, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and modern lighting. New ownership has the opportunity to increase net operating income over $100,000 by aligning rents with market rates and implementing minimal operational efficiencies. Building amenities include two on-site laundry facilities, a clubhouse, and ample surface parking, creating additional income opportunities.
Located within the broad-based economy of the South Puget Sound, Indigo benefits from Tacoma's steady housing demand and proximity to popular attractions like the Tacoma Mall, major healthcare institutions, and the Port of Tacoma - the fourth-largest container gateway in North America. Tacoma offers a preferable cost of living at a 20% discount compared to Seattle, attracting a diverse renter base. The market is tightening, evidenced by positive net absorption projections through 2027 as construction starts slow down after the peak in 2024. This vibrant market provides a balanced urban living experience and a strategic advantage for investors looking to capitalize on Tacoma's future growth trajectory.
