A New York-based investment group is expanding its reach in the Puget Sound area with two acquisitions of multi-million-dollar apartment buildings in Seattle and Redmond, totaling $172 million.
KKR & Co. purchased the 235-unit Baldwyn in Seattle for $77.82 million and the 195-unit Cru at Willows in Redmond for $93.85 million, according to The Puget Sound Business Journal.
A Seattle-based real estate company, Goodman Real Estate, developed both apartment complexes and acted as the seller.

As for the Baldwyn, the six-story building is located at 10712 5th Ave. N.E., near the Northgate light rail station and Kraken Community Iceplex. Goodman acquired the property in 2018 for an undisclosed price.
KKR has established a notable footprint in the Puget Sound region before, with its 2019 acquisition of the Amazon-leased Summit office tower in Bellevue and the office portion of F5 Tower in downtown Seattle for more than $1.2 billion, according to The Puget Sound Business Journal.
KKR acquired the portfolio of Lennar subsidiary Quarterra for $2.1 billion in 2024, giving the investment giant a foothold in the local multifamily market. Eighteen multifamily assets were sold across eight states, including apartment properties in Seattle’s Central District and Kirkland.
In all, KKR either owns or has invested in $260 billion in assets worldwide.
