Matt Hanna

In his real estate practice, Matt represents local and national developers, builders and lenders in all aspects of acquisition, development, financing, construction, leasing, and disposition for single and multi-family residential, mixed-use, office, and retail projects—with a focus on creative, cost-efficient results. He creates private equity and debt funds for private regional lenders and other real estate-related companies, and assists them on completing a range of financing transactions.

Matt’s work includes representing large corporate entities, such as Chris Hansen and his affiliates in the assessment, procurement and financing of a property portfolio for development and construction of a new multi-modal use sports arena complex in the SODO district of Seattle. He has represented the largest regional hospital network in the state through multiple facets of their expansion efforts; and also represented King County in its coordinated sale of real estate for the expansion of the Washington State Convention Center.

Matt cares deeply about Seattle and the Puget Sound region. He was appointed by former Mayor Greg Nickels, and is the current Council Chair of the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (PDA), a public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle in 1973 which owns, operates, and manages the properties in the nine-acre Pike Place Market Historic District.
