We supported F5 Networks in evaluating the relocation of its headquarters from multiple mid-rise buildings into a new high-rise headquarters in downtown Seattle. Early engagement advisory services included site selection, due diligence, permitting and approvals, and strategic coordination to support the development of a cohesive vertical campus designed to enhance connectivity, employee experience, and public presence.

As trusted owner’s representatives, we guided F5 Networks through the complex delivery of its new downtown headquarters by leading architect, contractor, and consultant team selection and management. We provided oversight of design and construction activities, scheduling, and budget and cost control to help align project execution with F5’s operational goals, workplace vision, and high expectations for quality and performance.

Creating and implementing a building systems strategy were critical to supporting F5 Networks’ transition into a new high-rise headquarters Through early planning and coordination, we led alignment of building systems with F5’s workplace, operational, and long-term performance goals to support a seamless and highly connected user experience.

For F5 Networks, we supported a seamless transition into a fully operational vertical campus by coordinating stakeholders, systems, and move-related processes to support employee readiness, operational continuity, and long-term workplace performance from Day One.

We provided structured risk management to F5 Networks’ high-rise headquarters project. Working closely with the contractor and project team, we used proprietary tools, dashboards, waterfall matrices, and weekly OAC meetings to proactively identify risks and “see around corners” before issues impacted cost, schedule, or quality.
