Institutional-quality innovation.

There’s nothing everyday about how we generate Alpha – except that we do it every day. We repositioned 9 million square feet of property for profitable sales in the last cycle, and we had fun doing it. Consistency and curiosity don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Acquisitions

We have a track record of closing acquisitions other investors never see.

Our long-held, far-reaching relationships coupled with our reputation as a seller problem-solver keeps our pipeline steadily flowing with some of the best on- and off-market deals in the industry. Our direct access to multiple perspectives via our in-house service platform ensures a tight turnaround or complicated structure never stops us from closing a deal. Our due diligence record so far is 10 days – though we’re not in a hurry to break it.

We excel at leaving properties better than we found them.

In this cycle, we’ve completed nearly half a billion dollars of capital improvements to our assets, which has helped us outperform pro forma leasing assumptions in both speed of absorption and rental rate. We believe the best property transformations are those that combine thoughtful, tenant-centered design with innovative capital plans and finely-tuned operations.

How we did it

Development

Our development legacy began with iconic high-rise office properties in Seattle — landmarks such as Rainier Tower and the award-winning Two Union Square. Today we’re selective investors who identify gaps in the market and develop assets to meet those needs on behalf of ourselves and our partners.
