Lake Union Partners is an urban real estate development company focused on creating enduring places in great cities.
We specialize in urban infill housing, historic preservation, and mixed-use development that strengthens neighborhoods and supports long-term community vitality.
Our team brings together expertise across development, design, finance, construction, and land use strategy. We invest alongside our partners and take a hands-on approach from acquisition through operations, ensuring every project is grounded in real economics, thoughtful design, and durable execution.
We are students of cities. We study what makes neighborhoods work, the rhythm of retail, the importance of housing, the role of culture, and we build projects that contribute meaningfully to the urban fabric

What we do
We started our company in Seattle in 2009 and our HQ is located in the Fremont neighborhood. We are active in Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Denver. Wherever we do our work, we become local and engage the community with long term intentions. We strive to create a diverse range of projects, including historic preservation, urban infill residential mixed use, hotel, and creative office.
We work with investment partners, design professionals, artists, and general contractors who align with our values of professional project execution, quality timeless design, arts + culture, and community building. Our mixed use residential buildings are commonly mixed income (market rate and affordable apartments), and we create commercial shops that are amenities for the residents who live in our buildings and the surrounding neighborhoods.
