F5 Networks

F5 Networks requested assistance from PPM on the overall project and move management from its current space in Seattle’s Elliott Bay neighborhood to a new headquarters location at the F5 Tower (previously known as The Mark) in downtown Seattle. The initiative was a two-phased construction project with 10 separate move phases, and included an Executive Briefing Center, several lab spaces, locker room and fitness center, game room, open office workstations, offices for EVPs and VPs, conference rooms, shipping and receiving mailroom, IT help desk, and marketing studio.

Dropbox

Dropbox’s entry into the Silicon Valley included the leasing of an entire building adjacent to the Mountain View CalTrain station. With team members needing to be officed immediately, PPM assisted in developing a three-phase approach. Phase 1 started with building a small swing space within the building, with Dropbox’s look and feel, while concurrently onboarding an architectural team for the bulk of the build-out of phases 2 and 3. Phase 2 included a majority of the space, including micro-kitchens and work pods for 12-18 employees. A small catering kitchen and coffee bar were designed into the renovation of the swing space for phase 3. By separating the kitchen and coffee shop into the final permit and phase of work, PPM was able to fast-track the design and construction and move employees into their space approximately three months early, while accommodating them in the building and avoiding additional rent on temporary office space.

Dorsey & Whitney

PPM was engaged by Dorsey & Whitney LLP, an international law firm with 20 office worldwide, to refresh its existing three floors of office space in the Columbia Tower.

PPM had previously worked in this building and was able to utilize lessons learned from past projects and property management relationships to provide guidance on project constraints and opportunities. PPM’s approach was to bring on a strong and collaborative General Contractor that would integrate quickly with the team to set up and organize the pre-construction efforts in support of the design. This was a critical step needed to move the project forward with efficiency and cost effectiveness while upholding the quality.
