SEATTLE, WA - Weidner Apartment Homes, the 12th largest owner of multifamily housing in the US, is proud to announce the acquisition of Via6 Apartments, a landmark mixed-use community located in Seattle, Washington’s South Lake Union neighborhood. The acquisition reflects a strong strategic opportunity in one of the most high-demand cities in the U.S. and brings Weidner’s Seattle-area portfolio to 7,370 apartment homes.
Built in 2013, Via6 consists of two 24-story high-rise towers spanning an entire city block with 654 units and 12,600+ square feet of street-level retail space. The community offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans with an average home size of 716 square feet. Each unit features modern designs, including energy-efficient appliances, stone countertops, in-unit laundry, and expansive windows framing sweeping views of downtown Seattle.
Residents enjoy an extensive amenity package, including a multi-story fitness center, an outdoor deck with grilling stations, and multiple indoor and outdoor lounges. The property’s retail promenade is anchored by The Victor Tavern and Rubinstein Bagels, with additional tenants including Rudy’s, Solidcore, and Mello Fellos.
Via6 is in a prime spot directly across the street from Amazon’s world headquarters in South Lake Union. The area is home to a broad ecosystem of top global employers, including Meta, Apple, Google, Fred Hutch, UW Medicine, the Allen Institute, and the Gates Foundation. The community earns a Walk Score of 99 and a Transit Score of 100, with immediate access to the South Lake Union Streetcar, Westlake light rail station, and the Seattle Monorail. Via6 sits within walking distance of Seattle’s major retail and entertainment centers, including Pike Place Market, the Seattle Center, Climate Pledge Arena, the Seattle Convention Center, and major sports venues.
The property’s connectivity will further improve with the light rail’s 2 Line opening in 2026, which will link Seattle to Eastside neighborhoods, offering more premier shopping, entertainment, and the global headquarters of leading organizations such as Microsoft and T-Mobile.
Weidner Apartment Homes is the sole owner and manager of Via6 and is excited to welcome the community into its growing portfolio. The company looks forward to strengthening its Seattle presence and supporting its residents and retailers within Via6.
