The current vacancy rate in downtown Tacoma’s Class ‘A’ office space is less than one percent; despite the current slowdown in the economy and resulting impacts to downtown development, some local investors see this high rate of demand as an opportunity. This quarter’s City Center Luncheon presents a panel discussion showcasing projects and prognostications from three local investors:
- Don Arsenault of Arsenault Realty Advisors (developer of Atrium Court);
- Ron Gintz of the Gintz Group LLC (developers of the former Mecca Theater and Old City Hall);
- Dan Putnam of PCS Structural Solutions (principal in Pacific Plaza LLC).
As always, this quarter’s meeting will highlight projects in the vanguard of downtown’s revitalization, introduce the people who are leading that process, and help delineate current trends and opportunities:
Friday, January 11thAttendees will also hear about new efforts to market downtown to developers and tenants, as well as a sneak preview of Destination Downtown Door-To-Door.
11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

ReplyDeleteImpressive panel. These are folks that are moving ahead on projects downtown.
If there is a group that can give us some ideas about how we can encourage more development downtown, these folks would be it.
By the way, perhaps we can talk about when Putnam can start on replacing the North Park Plaza Garage.
