Pier 66

In collaboration with Bermello Ajamil & Partners

URBANADD and Bermello & Ajamil collaborated on this $30 million-dollar renovation and expansion of a unique cruise and conference facility at Pier 66 on Seattle’s waterfront. Through a public-private partnership between the Port of Seattle and Norwegian Cruise Lines, the project set out to increase the building’s square footage by over 30%, modernize systems, and improve efficiencies to accommodate larger cruise ships, all within the same building envelope. The project had an extremely aggressive construction schedule of just 7 months and no cruise or conference operations could be affected during that time. The team employed phased expedited permitting, design construction overlap, an on-site design team, and a hyper-collaborative process to meet the aggressive schedule with no cost or schedule overruns.
