Description
Marcus & Millichap has been selected to exclusively market for sale a Social Security Administration (SSA) field office in Bellingham, Washington. The lease is guaranteed by the United States Government, providing one of the strongest credit-backed income streams available. Built to suit for SSA in 2008, the tenant has continuously operated from this location for 18+ years. As the only SSA field office in Whatcom County, serving 236,000+ residents, the property is mission-critical with limited relocation risk. The property also features an approximately 7,000 SF pad area along Alabama St. with potential for a coffee kiosk generating an estimated $2,000–$3,000/month in additional rent. Located directly on Alabama St. with 33,000+ VPD and easy ingress/egress from both directions, the property is shadow anchored by the #1 ranked Trader Joe's in Bellingham, nationally top 18% per Placer.ai, and surrounded by retail, government, office, and residential uses driving consistent traffic. Within ten miles, the property serves 155,000+ residents with average household incomes exceeding $102,000. Washington's lack of state income tax further enhances after-tax returns.
