Tech giant Apple signed a new lease for office space in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood. It is the largest new lease in Seattle since 2019.

Apple is expanding its presence in the Evergreen State, signing a direct lease for nearly 193,000 square feet of office space in South Lake Union.

It's Apple's biggest new lease since before the pandemic when it announced it was bringing 2,000 workers to Seattle.

Apple is taking a big bite out of the Seattle commercial estate market with a new 193,000 square-foot lease in a building previously occupied by Meta. A new report from Colliers described the lease as a direct deal at the Arbor Blocks 333 building in South Lake Union near downtown Seattle, just south of Amazon’s headquarters.

As most tech companies choose Bellevue, Apple is staying in Seattle and expanding its reach in South Lake Union.
