The buyer is Unico Properties, a subsidiary of a Seattle-based private equity real estate investment firm.
The company did not disclose the purchase price, but someone with knowledge of the sale put it at $ 100 million.
Unico said it bought the site as a “transportation-oriented investment” because of its location near the subway, Southcenter shopping mall and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a press release.
It is the latest in a string of real estate sales the aircraft maker made as it cut costs during the aviation pandemic-induced downturn.
In addition to the headquarters, the site also included another building that once housed the state-of-the-art training facilities and full-flight simulators from Boeing.
