With more than 25 years in acquisitions, development, asset management and dispositions, we help clients make clear, well-informed decisions about the properties they own, finance or plan to buy.

Selected Experience
2.6 Million Square Foot Receivership, Seattle and Bellevue, WA. Asset management lead for the largest receivership in Washington State history: a 13-property, 2.6 million square foot office portfolio left derelict by its prior owner. A business plan was built for each asset and executed, leasing more than 1 million square feet to lift occupancy from under 50% to over 85% and deploying more than $125 million to renovate lobbies, improve tenant spaces and clear deferred maintenance. The portfolio was then sold asset by asset at more than a 3x equity multiple.
Kirkland Urban, Kirkland, WA. Brought in to lead re-entitlement of a large mixed-use project in downtown Kirkland after a previous developer failed to get it off the ground. Pre-leasing half of the office space and landing a 50,000 square foot anchor grocery lease allowed the project to be capitalized and start construction. After fifteen retail leases, a major technology company agreed to buy the entire 800,000 square foot complex, plus future phases, at completion. The disposition closed at a record price per square foot and total value for a mixed-use development in Kirkland.
