KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Capital Group (“ACG”), a full-service real estate investment and development company, today announced the acquisition of 4.59 acres of land in the Totem Lake neighborhood of Kirkland, Wash., for $30 million. The land will be used for the development of a five-story residential and retail property, featuring 493 apartment units, 20% of which will be workforce housing, and more than 11,000 square feet of ground floor retail.

Located at 12700 and 12704 NE 124^th Street, construction of the property, led by ACG, is expected to begin in Spring 2023. The development site is centrally located to the area’s major employment and entertainment centers, including Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue.

The community’s location will also provide residents walkable access to the Village of Totem Lake, which includes 360,000 square feet of retail anchored by Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and a luxury Cinemark movie theater.

The development project comes at a time of rapid growth for the greater Seattle area. Kirkland has experienced nearly 20% population growth since 2010, with more than 6,000 businesses expanding to the region, driven by leading technology and Fortune 500 companies. Job growth in the Seattle MSA is expected to increase by 43% over the next 10 years. Google, Amazon and Microsoft have planned expansions to their existing office spaces underway, which will provide a combined 40,000 new jobs to the area.
