Jordan Lott is President and CEO of Lake Washington Partners, a real estate development company he co-founded in 2006. The company was founded on the vision to build one of the US’s great real estate portfolios. In his role, Jordan oversees all aspects of the business including capital deployment, leasing and property management operations. Jordan takes a hands-on approach and fosters long-term relationships with LKWP’s staff, tenants, vendors, and the community at large. His passion for real estate was ignited by his grandfather, Manny Lott, a pioneer in Seattle’s real estate scene in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

Jordan’s dedication to mentorship and advancing industry standards is evident through his active roles in the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, as a lifetime Research Foundation Governor for NAIOP, and as a Board Member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO). His educational background in Real Estate Development from University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business complements his practical experience, making him a versatile thought leader in the industry.

“My People used to say, when a stranger appears at your door, feed him for three days before asking who he is, where he's come from, where he's headed. That way, he'll have strength enough to answer. Or, by then you'll be such good friends, you don't care.”

Bashar Wali is a founder, a father, and a hotel fanatic. He’s a pragmatist—hungry to experience life not as it is packaged and sold, but as it is. His vested interest in hospitality, culture, and design, is cut with curiosity of what’s possible, beyond the status quo.

Bashar is always looking for that spark—that perfect symmetry of an idea and its physical manifestation—to make human experiences as we know them, better. He’s the consummate Host of the Soirée—ever in pursuit of a shared humanity among friends, colleagues, and total strangers. This is perhaps his greatest gift: bringing together a group that’s more inspiring than the sum of its parts.

As founder and CEO of This Assembly and Practice Hospitality, Bashar draws upon expertise honed over a 30-year career in hospitality. An expert in the lifestyle space, Bashar is known for pushing limits in his philosopher-meets-hotelier kind of way. Whether helming the TEDx stage, hosting a Global YPO event, or collaborating on Clubhouse, Bashar’s message is unwavering: service is what you deliver, hospitality is how you make people feel.

Bashar has done every job in a hotel—from frying an egg to negotiating a deal—working for Starwood Hotels before leading acquisitions and development globally at Grand Heritage Hotels. Prior to launching This Assembly and Practice Hospitality, Bashar served as President/CEO of Provenance Hotels, where he remains a partner, for 15 years, growing the company from five to 15 hotels, 1,500 team members, and expanding the collection from the Pacific Northwest to an award-winning national brand, with annual revenue in excess of $150 million.

When Bashar isn’t traveling to 50+ countries and 45+ states, he’s home in Portland, Oregon with his wife and kids, dreaming up the hotels of tomorrow.
