Schnitzer West to Buy Back The Bravern’s Vacant Office Towers in Downtown Bellevue

Schnitzer West is acquiring The Bravern, a 750,000-square-foot office complex in downtown Bellevue, after Microsoft vacated the property last year. The deal, expected to close in fall 2026, addresses a $304 million mortgage default and aims to reposition the towers for new tenants. While this is regional commercial real estate news, it has minimal direct impact on Burien residents or local affairs.
