Office Development of the Year
Description
In 2015, Costco Wholesale initiated plans to expand its corporate headquarters in Issaquah, WA, bringing employees from surrounding locations to the main campus. Costco invited MG2 to design a flexible space that was inviting and enjoyable for both their dedicated employees and their new and longtime business partners. The design of the new building endeavors to reflect and inspire the future of their business while being respectful of the project’s physical surroundings and community.
