Trending...

SEATTLE, Nov. 25, 2024 ~ Seattle, WA- BNBuilders, a 100% employee-owned general contractor, has announced the groundbreaking of its new headquarters in the historic Ainsworth & Dunn building. The 28,000-square-foot building, originally constructed in 1902 as a salmon processing warehouse for the Ainsworth & Dunn company, is a Seattle landmark and is fondly known to many as the Old Spaghetti Factory building.

The renovation of this iconic building will preserve its historic and architectural significance while bringing innovative updates to the space. This includes maintaining the original brick, timber, and car decking structure and installing a new steel-structured communicating stair connecting all three floors. The treads and landings of the stair will be crafted from salvaged timber from the building. Additionally, two kitchenettes and a large kitchen will be added on the third floor, and an overhead door will be installed to activate the existing patio.

BNBuilders' Founder Brad Bastian, Principal Jeff Sebenik, and CFO Rich Finlay recently visited the jobsite of their new headquarters. Senior Project Executive Dan Huber expressed his excitement about being stewards of such an important community landmark. "Our commitment to preservation reflects our respect for Seattle's history and our vision for a vibrant future on the downtown waterfront," he said.
