CLIENT:
Stanford Hotels
TEAM:
Public Affairs
IMPACT:
Used a local touch to ensure a key development opportunity was met with widespread, timely approval.
Challenge
Stanford Hotels was able to rely on Nyhus’ established urban network and expertise navigating the city’s design review process. Our agency combined an approach designed to bring in strategic government support, while also reaching out to the community through targeted outreach, letter writing and neighborhood block meets. This method built a robust base of support, driving the project through the required approval process in an efficient and timely fashion.
Results
- Nyhus garnered strong support for the project, which culminated with a majority of those in attendance at the public design review leaning heavily in favor of permit approval for Stanford Hotels.
- The City of Seattle granted the project a Master Use Permit after only a single meeting, saving the client valuable time and resources.
