Within the last year alone, Seattle gained 21,000 new residents, about 57 people a day. The Seattle Times recently published an article outlining our city’s growth spurt, opining that this increase is likely owed to the addition of thousands of high paying jobs in Seattle. Apparently, workers from all over the country are migrating here in search of new opportunities.   This rapid population growth has led to an overall increase in Seattle industry and business and, in turn, an increase in the number of businesses actively looking for new commercial space.   This has resulted in the completion of 78,358 square feet of new office space and over 400,000 square feet of new retail space in just the first quarter of 2017 according to CoStar’s market report.  Well-established, local commercial real estate firms such as Ironwood are now busier than ever, servicing a variety of sophisticated “out-of-towners” who are looking for professional guidance in navigating Seattle’s high-speed real estate market.
