The accolade is investing around $2.5 million to redesign two floors of 1201 Third Tower, building permit application reported. The 1201 Third Tower was earlier named as Washington Mutual Tower. The tower is a 55-foot skyscraper, build in 1988.

CEO of Accolade, Raj Singh informed GeekWire that “We’ve outgrown our Convention Center space and need room to grow- and not arm-wrestle over meeting rooms!”

He further mentioned, the company expects to double its staff members within 2 – 3 years and it will be our next aim. Currently, 120 employees work for the Seattle Company. However, Singh was not willing to speak more about its real estate initiatives.

The office space is around 45,000 square feet and sufficient enough to hold 225 to 200 employees, 150-200 square feet per employee’s industry standard ration stated. WeWork, Boston Consulting Group, and other leading companies have established headquarters’ in the tower.
