The North Face is exactly the type of company we envisioned for our ground-level Bleitz Building space.

They are a great fit for the building and a wonderful addition to the Fremont neighborhood.

New Seattle ‘micro-hub campus’ stretches Fremont office submarket south of the ship canal

The Fremont office submarket in Seattle is expanding as work on an adaptive reuse project south of the Lake Washington Ship Canal nears completion.

Office space in Fremont – home to the headquarters of Tableau Software as well as offices for Google and Adobe – is a hot commodity. North of the ship canal, a new office building is filling up while a 1980s-era building sold last month for 88% more than it did six years prior.

Fremont Crossing, the adaptive reuse project by Seattle-based Pastakia + Associates, will test whether tenants will migrate to the other side of the canal.
