“Burien supports development so it eliminates the risky unknowns you may have when developing in other cities."
— Dan, Nitze-Stagen
The City of Burien has a robust history of partnering with the private sector on new development. A new job center in Burien (NERA) resulted from the city government partnering with the Port of Seattle, and WSDOT to provide timely infrastructure investments that support the attraction of private sector development and over 750,000 square feet of new commercial space. The City took the lead on developing similar partnerships for mixed use development in the downtown, providing $9M in street investments to support downtown development.
