design and construction administration for the 78,500
square-foot mixed-use property found in the Little Saigon
neighborhood of Seattle’s International District. An Lac is six
stories comprised of retail and office spaces as well as 69
affordable housing units. Developed by the Low Income
Housing Institute to also function as their home office, it has
won several awards including ‘2020 NAIOP Night of the

areas that reduce site runoff and specific landscaping that
reduces irrigation needs. The building also provides a large
