Philosophy
Philosophy
We are a privately owned Real Estate Development Firm with a ‘Path of Progress’ Investment theme. We apply a long-term perspective in anticipating trends that will drive where Seattle is heading over the next several decades.
Our Company is intensely focused on urban areas as the engines for growth and change and is committed to creating a vital, vibrant, and compelling future for Seattle. The principles underlying this vision are sustainable development, smart growth, increased density, and transformational place-making.
This passion and belief in Seattle stems from multiple generations of the Smith family, which have been involved in Seattle commercial real estate and Politics for over 150 years.
Our team embeds itself into the fabric of Seattle; we engage with key stakeholders and assume leadership roles in shaping land use and development patterns throughout key neighborhoods within the City.
Wellness & Sustainability
Wellness & Sustainability
With a philosophy of “Build Up, Not Out”, we believe that what’s good for the environment is also good for business. We are a pro-density firm committed to implementing sustainable, high-performance practices into all of our buildings, and we assemble world class project teams to accomplish this objective.
We have studied progressive global cities – Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Malmö (Sweden), New York, Sydney and Vancouver, B.C. to name a few – to learn how they address planning and design challenges. Our teams bring these lessons learned back to Seattle and into our investments.
For both office and residential environments, the health and wellness outcomes of green building practices are well documented, and by prudently incorporating these technologies into the design and development process, one can create immense value for both the Owner and the User.
Our projects include innovative features such as:
Increased use of day-lighting
Green Roofs
Operable Windows
Photovoltaic Systems
Natural Ventilation
Rain Water Cisterns
High Performance Curtain Wall Systems
Greater control over heating and lighting systems
High Performance HVAC systems
Innovative Wastewater Management Strategy
