His AIA Seattle colleagues commend this creative developer, who in a number of recent and imminent downtown Seattle projects has taken and continues to take the risk for urban excellence. From Pacific Place to the Seaboard Building and the renovation of the downtown Seattle YMCA to the WaMu-SAM project, he has guided Pine Street Group's wise investments to help craft a lively and economically successful downtown – a gift to the city and the region, an attraction to visitors from near and far.
