15-story, 336,000 sq. ft. LEED Gold Commercial Office Building

Dexter Horton, located at 710 Second Avenue in Seattle, WA, was acquired in 2013. Originally constructed in 1924, the 13-story, 336,000 sq. ft. historic office building is a prominent and widely recognized landmark in Seattle. In 2002, the property underwent a major renovation, and in 2013, Gerding Edlen executed a value-add strategy which included an extensive renovation and addition of amenity and common area spaces, as well as several sustainability initiatives that contributed to its recertification with the USGBC using the LEED Dynamic Plaque—the first building in the world to be recertified using this platform. Gerding Edlen successfully acquired, renovated, re-leased and managed the property. Dexter Horton was sold in 2015.
