Oct 8 Community is a Cornerstone of our Business

Each year, our firm donates hundreds of hours to both local and international nonprofit organizations, serving on executive boards and committees, participating in mentor programs, hosting fundraisers, and getting our hands dirty at workday events!

An annual event we always look forward to is NAIOP Washington’s Annual Community Enhancement project – where volunteers unite to tackle a large community project and complete it in a single day!

This year’s project brought our team (along with hundreds of other volunteers) to Mary’s Place new Burien location. Since 1999, Mary’s Place has helped hundreds of women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. Their Burien location will further the Mary’s Place mission by serving 360,000 meals a year and providing care for children with life-threatening illnesses.

A more than worthy project, the volunteers tackled onsite projects like, landscaping, painting, building picnic tables, replacing/updating windows, sprucing up interiors, and building accessibility ramps, sidewalks, and railings. It was a full day of doing good – which we love! To relive the day, check out this awesome video NAIOPWA created:

For more than 25 years, we have been proud supporters of the Community Enhancement project, with Principal Garo Pehlivanian and Structural Project Manager Eric Dixon leading the charge. “It’s a privilege to be part of NAIOP’s Community Enhancement Committee. The Community Enhancement projects are great opportunities to get together with colleagues outside of the normal day-to-day setting and give back to the community. It’s also incredibly rewarding to see the project sites transform each year. This year was especially meaningful because Mary’s Place makes such a huge difference in people’s lives.”
– Eric Dixon, Structural Project Manager.
