In his real estate practice, Matt represents local and national developers, builders and lenders in all

aspects of acquisition, development, financing, construction, leasing, and disposition for single and

multi-family residential, mixed-use, office, and retail projects—with a focus on creative, cost-efficient

results. He creates private equity and debt funds for private regional lenders and other real estate-related

companies, and assists them on completing a range of financing transactions.

Matt’s work often involves large, complex projects such as assisting Chris Hansen and his affiliates in

the assessment, procurement and financing of a property portfolio for development and construction of a

new multi-modal use sports arena complex in the SODO district of Seattle, and representing King

County in its coordinated sale and ongoing operation of real estate for the expansion of the Washington

State Convention Center.

As CH&’s Managing Partner, Matt leads the firm’s business success, and has successfully developed

and implemented the firm’s strategic plan. He is responsible for the day-to-day management of the firm,

including supervision and oversight of the firm’s administrative, financial, technological, and business

development functions.

Matt cares deeply about Seattle and the Puget Sound region. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels appointed

Matt to serve on the Council for Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (PDA), a

public corporation chartered by the City of Seattle in 1973 which owns, operates, and manages the

properties in the nine-acre Pike Place Market Historic District. Matt is now the chair of the PDA

Council.
