ABOUT US
Roy Mann, Development Consultant
A consummate connector, Roy Mann began his real estate career at CBRE advising nonprofits. He often saved organizations such as Girl Scouts of Western Washington, United Way of King County and PATH hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars.
After founding Roy Street (originally Roy Street Group), Mann focused on generational family businesses, helping them preserve their legacies in fast-growing Seattle. Mann drew on his professional experience and training together with his personal interactions with many icons of the industry in Seattle while leading the Dunn Lumber Company’s expansion. The resulting 167,000 SF mass timber project preserved more than 100 working wage jobs and produced three public-private partnerships with city Parks, Utilities, and Transportation departments. The Dunn Lumber project has since become a model for close coordination between community, public and private actors.
Roy Street Team
In 2024, the Roy Street team produced a report on mass timber accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for the Natural Resources Innovation Center on the North Olympic Peninsula. The ADUs turn coastal western hemlock, a low-cost material, into a high value, environmentally conscious product through more wood mass/carbon capture, increased energy-efficiency, and improved durability. The effort will hire and train 44 additional employees over five years. As a continuation of this work, Mann now leads the $5.2M Clallam Forest Product Innovation Program.
Roy Street is more than the work of one person. We are a dedicated interdisciplinary team of professionals whose composition changes to suit the varied needs of our clients. Everyone on the team values producing high quality work in the spirit of collaboration, community and service to others.
