Ben Conwell, a 14-year Quadrant veteran, is the group's new head of acquisitions that will target properties in the 30,000-120,000 sf range. Most of the properties will be mixed-use developments in established neighborhoods. The company's reputation in the Puget Sound region had been for developing huge office parks.

"Quadrant is taking a two-prong approach to new acquisitions, shifting its focus to acquiring sites for mixed-used development,'' a Quadrant spokesperson reported. "These will be retail, office and residential in close-in, walkable urban neighborhoods and in niche locations within suburban areas.''

Debi Frausto was promoted to vice president of marketing and leasing while Pat Malley becomes the company's new vice president of finance. Troy Black moves up to become senior finance manager.
