Repositioning in a Rapidly Growing City
Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 | Time: 11:30 am – 1:00 pm | The Catalyst Loft: 701 Pike St, Suite 2125 Seattle, WA 98101
Description
As development fills South Lake Union, the Denny Triangle, and Pioneer Square, one must inevitably consider what to do with the older office buildings in Seattle’s traditional financial core. These buildings, many of which were envisioned and constructed in the 1970s and 1980s, were built for a different generation and far different conceptions about work. Given the tremendous changes in the workforce and current ideas about work brought on by new technologies, global culture and changing demographics, how do we reposition these aging buildings to maintain their relevance and attract today’s companies? We will discuss how concepts of community, identity, and transparency infuse our approach to repositioning in the city we call home.
