Amazing progress out at the Wesley Phase 3 project in Des Moines, Washington. It’s exciting to see how far this 178,000 sf addition to the campus has come! You’ll see the wood framing is wrapping up on the 5-story catered living and memory care building, which also will include a fitness center and common areas, while metal framing is nearly complete on the 2-story building housing the skilled nursing facility.

Kudos to our WALSH team of Marc Streleski, Anthony Mizin, Randy Cossette, Juanita McLaughlin, Qasim G., Michael Corpus, Joe Geise, Ryan Gidley, Cindie Banta, and Mike Bang. And to our project partners Wesley, InSite Architects, Inc., and Senior Housing Partners.

Congratulations to the team of the PAE Living Building for winning the Regional Best Project Award from Engineering News-Record for its resilient timber design and innovative sustainability achievements.

Many thanks to our incredible trade partners and to the WALSH team of Ed Sloop, Kent Usher, Kyle Heckaman, Adam Klauba, Steffen Schulz, Liz Stewart, Linda Woolery, Jake LaManna and so many more for their incredible efforts on this groundbreaking project.

We have been committed to building a sustainable future for over 60 years and this project is a culmination of these efforts. The #PAElivingbuilding represents the possibility of a more sustainable future and that Portland can represent that future on a global stage.

Work has officially begun on Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI)’s Good Shepherd Housing, a 7-story, 86-unit permanent supportive housing building located in the Seattle’s Central District. The site belongs to the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd and was the location of Seattle’s first ever tiny house village beginning in 2015. Now it will become a safe haven for individuals exiting homelessness and low-wage workers.

Beautifully designed by Runberg Architecture Group, the building amenities include on-site case management and staff offices, a common room, and several outdoor spaces, including a rooftop deck. Needless to say, our team was excited to get some dirt moving! Congratulations to LIHI and the entire project team!
