Among the first winners announced today are the Washington Park Building, an historic renovation recapturing the charm and character of Pioneer Square, as well as Gig Harbor’s 7 Seas Waterfront Taproom, a labor-of-love hospitality development with stunning views of the harbor.

Panattoni’s build-to-suit project in Frederickson was also announced as Industrial Build-to-Suit Development of the Year, showcasing a bold redesign to accommodate the hardware giant Harbor Freight, bringing jobs and further economic development to the submarket.

NAIOPWA's Night of the Stars awards honor the projects and teams that build Puget Sound’s most notable developments in this annual celebration of the commercial real estate industry. Each finalist project was evaluated for impact on the community, market adaptability, ingenuity and local contributions. Winners will be announced at the sold-out gala on November 1 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.

The Commercial Brokers Association, in partnership with NAIOPWA, will announce the brokerage finalists at their first annual Salute to Industry Impact event on October 18 at the Overlake Golf & Country Club. Details can be found on the CBA website, www.commercialmls.com.
