Port of Bellingham: Harcourt can start to rebuild waterfront site, Granary

04.07.2015

Since 2012, Heartland has served as strategic real estate advisor for the Port of Bellingham’s Waterfront District, a 137-acre former Georgia Pacific pulp mill adjacent to downtown Bellingham. With the Port and City collaborating on regulatory approvals, infrastructure costs, and environmental cleanup, the stage has been set for creation of an entirely new neighborhood of the City. Heartland was engaged to develop and implement a market outreach plan to secure private investment into the District, key to helping transform the vision a reality. With a focus on securing a master developer for the 20-acre initial phase, Heartland engaged in a two-stage marketing process, with the Port ultimately selecting Harcourt Developments from among nine (9) proposals. Heartland then assisted the Port in negotiation of a Master Development Agreement with Harcourt, which was executed March 2015.
