Marx Okubo assisted our client with the purchase and completion of the core and shell for this new 186,116-square-foot, six-story office building in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. Construction was approximately 70 percent complete with MEPF rough-in and curtain wall installation in progress.

Marx Okubo’s services included an initial property condition assessment, seismic risk analysis and construction document review to identify any immediate concerns and evaluate project status.

We also engaged an exterior envelope consultant to review the drawings and as-built conditions; field test; and peer review the seller’s exterior consultants reports.

While confirming the completion of the contractor’s punch list, our team identified and tracked toward resolution some additional punch list and code items. We also reviewed construction close-out documents, including O&Ms, warranties and as-built drawings.
