Image

Seattle Belltown Buy Tests Affordable Housing Model

Image
What Seattle Bought in Belltown Price compression defined the latest Belltown apartment trade as Goodman Real Estate paid $47.8 million for ArtHouse, a 139-unit property at 2334 Elliott Ave. in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. County records show the asset contains 92,178 rentable square feet, pricing the deal at roughly $343,597 per unit and $518 per square foot.

How Many Homes Sit Vacant in Chicago Vacancy casts a long shadow over Chicago’s housing debate. U.S. Census Bureau estimates show 1,258,704 dwelling units citywide, with a 10.2% vacancy rate, or about 128,796 vacant homes. That figure appears large in raw numbers, yet it remains modest relative to overall housing need and offers limited slack in current market dynamics. Even if every longer-term vacant unit came back online, Chicago would still face a substantial housing shortfall . At the same time, Chicago’s broader housing stress is worsening as the city led the nation in foreclosure starts during Q1 2025. What the Counts Actually Capture Census data divides vacant homes into two broad groups. About 37.3%, or 38,450 units, are temporarily unoccupied. Another 62.7%, or 64,589 units, are vacant for other reasons. A separate city registry reported 6,521 vacant dwelling units in February 2023 because its rules cover only certain longer-term empty buildings. These differences carry poli...
