Development Consulting

Each building is an Experience

A great space engages each of your five senses. Our team believes that curating an ideal residential setting or crafting a premier commercial offering takes research, feedback, and discussion. Only by listening to the community can you best serve it. To us, development consulting should be part art, part science, and a little bit of magic.

Our consulting work includes everything from strategy to economic analysis to sustainability recommendations. To best deliver on our goals, we identify and define target archetypes early on, so we can understand what matters to them. We research local, regional, national, and even international markets to know what works now as well as what experiential trends are on the horizon. We go over our plans with contractors, developers, and architects because we bring everything we have to the table and we want to hear from everyone.

Chasten Fulbright, CPM

Creative Innovator | PrincipalBacked by a diverse history of portfolio and asset management, Chasten comes with a passion for sustainability, a dedication to transparency, and a specialized interest in urban mixed-use properties. Day to day, he puts his knowledge, know-how, and love for Seattle into overseeing the company’s marketing, development consulting, business development, and commercial projects. The phrase “good enough” is nowhere to be found in his vocabulary.

Aaron Klaus

TRD Pro | Development ConsultantAaron is a career property management professional who stumbled upon his first leasing position in 2008 while studying the medical field. He has traversed the west coast, managing over a dozen properties between Seattle WA and Palm Springs CA. Aaron first found Blanton Turner in 2014 while looking for an apartment to rent in the Ballard neighborhood. He was so enamored by the ads for a new lease-up that he researched our core culture and ultimately applied for a job instead of an apartment! Aaron has thoroughly enjoyed expanding his skillset as a Property Manager while being given the freedom to express his individuality and customer-focused management style. When he’s not working he stays busy with his many passions including hiking, camping, paddle boarding, song writing, candle-making, carpentry and DIY projects of all kinds.

Jesse Anderson

Captain Planet | Director of SustainabilityJesse provides sustainability leadership for Blanton Turner and its portfolio of properties as its Director of Sustainability. His expertise is born out of a Master’s of Science in Sustainable Development from Uppsala University in Sweden. He also brings leading edge sustainable knowledge with his LEED AP accreditation and as a Fitwell Ambassador. Using his vast experience, he developed Blanton Turner’s service offerings for benchmarking asset efficiency, Environmental Social Governance data management and reporting, and developing opportunities that improve tenant participation and asset efficiency. Beyond Blanton Turner, he has served on the advisory board for IREM’s Certified Sustainable Property program since 2016, working to create a sustainability certification for properties around the world.

SUSTAINABILITY

We Value Sustainability

Changing policies, evolving technology, and increasing market demand continue to drive sustainable development in the Pacific Northwest. This means more buildings with complex systems that require new strategies for user education. Sustainability goes beyond environmental stewardship and extends to the way we treat each other. Utilizing a strategy heavy on education and social programming, our goal is to make sustainable decisions easy and logical.

GOING GREEN

LEED Certified

To achieve LEED, early considerations allow for appropriate under- standing of the often complex systems involved within a building and optimization of their ongoing operations. In this market, to be a leader in this space, it’s essential to take an integrated approach to your building, which carries through building development and management. While achieving LEED is something to be celebrated, this alone will not make you a market leader in this space. We have found that incorporating ongoing programs such as resident and vendor education programming, waste management, coordination in capital improvement, and community outreach will help residents maximize the efficiency of your green building and solidify the projects position as a leader in the local community.
