What We Do

Real Estate

As a preservation and development authority, Historic Seattle has been saving and rehabilitating historic buildings since 1973. 

Real Estate Development

Historic Seattle is a leader in the active and creative development and preservation of historic properties throughout the region. We currently own nine historic properties in our portfolio and have saved and rehabilitated dozens of historic buildings since 1973. We also steward over two dozen properties through preservation easements.

View our projects (past and present) and learn about the historic places we have preserved and continue to steward. 

The needs of a project and the degree to which a historic property is threatened often dictates the role and level of engagement. Historic Seattle's staff are often retained on a fee-for-service basis to provide a wide variety of technical expertise including but not limited to the creation of project sources and uses, pro forma development, market analysis, construction budgeting, project and construction management, and leasing assistance. Through these and a wide variety of other services provided, Historic Seattle is a uniquely positioned leader in the thoughtful, creative, and economically viable preservation of historic buildings.
